The company will use the money from the rate increase to pay for its new plants that "we don't need and we don't want," Porter said.

Don't want? If they voted for 'we will destroy the coal industry' Obama and Biden, then they wanted this. Replacing coal power plants with gas turbine or nuclear ones costs money. And the power generated costs more money per MW than with a coal plant.

These protestors are likely the ones that voted for this. BTW, there is no constitutional right to cheap energy in the constitution.

Obama said his plans would cause rates to skyrocket.

That's right. To necessarily skyrocket.

Germany has let the loons run wild with their energy policy.

I think they are now paying $.33 per KWH and the poor are freezing to death in the winter.

Will it be our future?

Once again, we are following in Europe’s footsteps.

Insanity, isn’t it?
