But that is not a term that is generally used in power generation rate cases (a $0.0007 increase per kWH is still too much). I can only assume that someone misplaced a decimel point somewhere along the line.<BR/><BR/>Both this and WE-Energy's capitulation to the eco-fascists will need approval of the Public Service Commission for implementation in our electric rates. The PSCW will not automatically provide rate relief for cases where there is no benefit to the ratepayers. <BR/><BR/>The PSCW may tell WE to have it's shareholders eat that $100 million expense that is unrelated to power generation. Thay could also determine that costs of this magnitude for mercury reductions are not a prudent expense. <BR/><BR/>We can have a voice in the public hearings for the rate increases (just be sure to include a large check to Doyle-2010 with your testimony).Headless Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583756925286190136noreply@blogger.com
