AL.COM reports the PSC has ordered Alabama Power, and Alabama Gas to lower rates. and takes a swipe at the president. The official statement from the PSC reads:
"President Obama's administration and his radical environmentalist cronies continue to press for policies that will make it more difficult to deliver low cost natural gas and electricity to Alabama families and businesses.
"While today's reductions are significant, the Obama administration's policies continue to negate the savings realized by ratepayers and jeopardize the future of lower natural gas prices."
And the other President, PSC President Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh added:
"We will continue to fight Obama and his out of control, job killing EPA. We will continue to use every measure available to fight Obama and keep rates as low as possible for Alabama families and businesses."
The rate reduction is 2%. Alabama Power's rates went up five per cent at the start of the year.
The job of the PSC is to regulate utilities, not to take cheap pot shots at the President.
