It will only get worse with McCrory being a Duke Energy lobbyist.

The biggest losers will be the employees!!! Already talking about budget cuts, before the rulings!

Looks like the STATE utilities comm should be renamed the RALEIGH utilities comm. What difference should it make how many employees stay in Raleigh. CP&L got bought out, get over it Raleigh!

This is what happens when you let the GOP control government.

Enjoy your mess North Carolina!

??? The Governor appoints the Commissioners onto the Utilities Commission. We've had a Democratic Governor for the last 20 years. Thus, of the 6 current Commissioners, 6 of them were appointed by Democrats. Though to your point, the GOP being seen as imminently taking over NC politics forced everyone's hand to get everything done on this before 1/5/13.

Duke and Progress Energy will never see the day or time when people trust them again. That also includes the State Utilities Comm. You fooled us once but you wont fool us again. Very significat that Mr. Johnson is now in charge of the largest utility in the US. Guess he wasnt as bad as Duke made him out to be. The Utilities Comm is just a group of people who have been appointed so they can empty consumers pocket and get paid for it and keeping richer.

"Any other company comes to mind with zip significant increases for 21 years???"

They didn't seem to have too much trouble getting it even with the docket filled with objections from just about everyone but the people who actually mattered in the decision.

This is shocking.....that anyone would be surprised by this. Our regulatory bodies are a joke. The corporations know that all they have to do is throw money at the problem and they can walk away without no admission of wrongdoing.

What a RIP OFF of the People of North Caroina!!!! The Utilites Commission should be replaced and the decision reversed!!!!

"Thank God we have huge corporate monopolies and the REPUBLICAN party to protect them! Just wait till Pat$ McCrory$ takes office, you know, the guy who works as a lobbyist for Duke Power and refuses to disclose his income taxes? Yeah, that guy. Whheeeeee!!!!!"

Apparently it slipped your mind that Bev was and still is the Governnor. Besides there is NO bigger or Greedier CORPORATE monopoly located in NC than The State Government. Nor is there any monopoly that is more greedy in NC with the possible exception of Raleigh. Now the grand shining star of Greed and uncontrolled monopoly is the federal Government. I say eliminate ALL CORPORATIONS from this country other than Government. I am quite sure everyone will have the exact same amount of EVERYTHING once that is accomplished. If we got Government intrusion out of the way we would have cheaper electricity. Hmmm well maybe the greedy government will steal some money and give you a windmill.

LOL...did you ACTUALLY expect ANYTHING else..??????..$$$CASH$$$ Money + politicians with their hands out + big corporations with their $$MULTI$$ $$MILLION$$ $$DOLLAR$$ $$LOBBIEST$$...WHAT ELSE DID YOU EXPECT.....????????????? LOL@dasheep....!!!!!!!!
