You are preaching to the choir!! A BIG reason our rates remained low for ->

all those years was the great "mix" of fuels. We had it all, Coal, Nuclear, Hyro and even small Gas peaking plants! The "climate initiative" we have signed back on to, added into this merger of giants, will spike our rates in the near future. If anyone is buying the "economies of scale" will provide a affordable electric rates for customers BS, I still have SOME swap land left...but it's going fast! Now, I WOULD load up on their stock, as they have managed their costs well over the years. This BEFORE this new era of "raise the rates until it hurts"
