Take a look at grassroots advocacy targeting a local utility company that is mostly checked by politicos without any real juice . . . Here's a more detailed and somewhat inspiring glimpse of locals sparked into action in order to protect their pocketbooks and their rights . . .
Over 16,000 sign petition after KCPL seeks rate hike
Over 16,000 sign petition after KCPL seeks rate hike
they need to take a close look at this. the comany seems very prosperous already.
ReplyDeletethey're planning a huge stock buyback.
Sign all the petitions you want. In the end the only thing you will be signing is that check you have to mail in for electricity each month to KCPL.
ReplyDeleteOMG man you know that lady you been reaming up the ass over there in Kansas and Missouri? Granda Millie? She wants her rates reduced? Hahaha
ReplyDelete^^^Looks like the old folks will have to put cat food on the menu more than once per week.
ReplyDeleteHey, if we don't like the rate increases, we can always get our power from the other company.
ReplyDeleteTrump said he removed costly regulations from the energy industry.
ReplyDeleteHe ended US participation in the Paris Climate Agreement. He has gutted EPA enforcement. He is rolling back emission standards.
Trump specially removed Obama coal plant rules and other regulations to bring coal back. Trump Digs Coal and his supporters brag about how strong the industry is now.
So why is KCPL raising rates and energy costs going up?!?!
We need a ban on rate increases until we can figure out what the hell is going on!
^^^Here is a link to KCPL's rate increase announcement. Internal links will provide you with more information. The filing itself is accessible at the Kansas and Missouri regulatory agencies that oversee KCPL. Those sites will also inform you of the dates and times of the public hearings. Inform yourself.

The stock holder's will be happy.When Water and utilities raise their rates it takes money out of the local economy .They won't go out to eat as often or shop at the independent stores. They will stay in and watch NETFLIX .THEY WILL ORDER PIZZA.
ReplyDeleteI realize that they face the same price increases we do but they can reduce expense by things like Stop mailing paper bills to folks like me who get their bills electronicaly. The notice of usage mailed separately are redundent. They can add a half page insert with our bill. Mailings are very costly. Postage alone can be a couple hundred thousand. Then they pay the printing company that prints, inserts into envelopes and sorts by zip code to reduce postage.Mailing is expensive!
ReplyDeletewhat they're doing with wind is amazing, but it must cost more....?
ReplyDeleteBECAUSE THEY CAN .
