The paper had several articles today concerning energy, with lots of blather from NextEra, a Florida based company. They think they are so much better than any stinking co-op hippies. Ask the people on Kauai about their electricity system, now that they have a co-op. Does the committee that runs the co-op pay their top people in the millions of dollars every year?

There is so much money floating around this deal, and every penny comes from the consumers. We are tired of getting screwed!
