Minnesota Power: Going green means a rate hike
Minnesota Power is seeking an almost 20 percent increase in rates for its residential customers to cover investments made in cleaner, greener energy

“We know this is unwelcome news at an unwelcome time,” said Pat Mullen, the company’s vice president of marketing and public affairs. “These are improvements that need to be made. It is creating an environment that we all value.”

“The average citizen in Duluth is not going to be able to afford an increase like that,” said Sue Siverson of Duluth. “To me it’s bad news. People can absorb a 2 or 3 percent increase, but 20 percent is substantial.”

It's just mean they stop the subsidizing polluting energy sources with the use of tax deductions. Yeah price of eergy goes up BUT taxes go down. Same thing with health care if they ever get that pasted. Lower taxes for all through less tax deduction for special interests.

Re: Minnesota Power: Going green means a rate hike
In Saskatchewan our Crown Corporations (Gov't owned companies that are suppossed to keep rates low) continued to increase Power & Gas rates of 40% for multiple years recently.

Sask Energy (Natural Gas company) got a 40% increase in rates two years in a row even though natural gas prices were at an all time low with no infastrucutre upgrades.

All crooks!

If you mean do I have a brain and can use it to understand what's going on and how it can be fixed or improved? why yes we're joined at the hip.

Lower taxes by ending tax deduction for special interests IS THE FUTURE.

Yeah okay.

Let's all hold our breath while we wait for Obama and Pelosi to lower our taxes.

So we can pay our electric bills.

I just hope we don't freeze to death waiting.
