Rocky Mountain's perspective on how to respond to being bridled comes from across the Atlantic where they're not used to American style business.
They listed every monetary amount they wanted us to see....what about the salaries and year end bonuses of the CEO and other top exec's?
Disgusting!
They get a raise and we get less service. That's just wonderful.
Well, I hope the commission not only sticks to their limits but fines them for this ridiculous ploy.
How do you scale back from zero anyway?
So let's cut to the chase and ignore most of RMP's baloney: RMP's measures as outlined above are nothing less than corpa bully-ing tactics and posturing to manipulate rates-raising on un-wary consumers for both now and in the future. I strongly recommend the UT Public Services Commission independently review the state's population growth and carefully scrutinize whether RMP has PROPERLY (accurately) represented and documented the facts surrounding "growth" and demand--if they haven't already! Kudo's to the Utah Public Services Commission; their currently tough stance is commendable!!
This company is entitled to a profit. If you don't like it put up solar panels and a windmill and get off the grid. I watch a helicopter holding a repairman 100 or more feet in the air servicing large power poles and lines. You could not pay me enough to do this. They deserve every penny they charge and they deserve rate increases. You want to protest? Protest Pizza Hut and Papa Murphys raising prices on their pizzas, not power costs.
I use it every day
Solar Power on my rooftop makes Rocky Mountain go away
Solar Power on my rooftop is so nice you see
It provides me with the power I crave
And Rocky Mountain pays my fee
They buy each excess megawatt
It is the law of the land
It is my solar power that Rocky Mountain cannot stand
Become energy independent!
Maybe we should tax them because the State is currently not getting the money they projected to cover their cost of operating.
Millions for Defense, but not one penny for tribute.
Look at Pacificorp's profits. They're making money at a better rate than they have in years.
It's time for the public to run public utilities.
One company could provide great service at a higher price, and anther could charge a lower price for less service.
All you people are upset, but the fact remains that it costs money to provide service. Even the government paid for it, it would still cost money (just twice as much), and the money would just come from a different source.
