We should have stayed with Progress Engery.. But Duke does have power over the commission, see how they won the last case. So just pay up and wait for the next increase in a couple of more months.

I'm reminded of MasterBlaster in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Except Tina Turner's character didn't work for MasterBlaster.

Pardon the pun but doesn't Duke have too much power already? Since they acquired Progress Energy, a lack and of progress and extortionist rates are sure to follow. When Duke feels too greedy now they can just flip a switch, and us off, and shut down the whole state.

They are never happy! They want more and more! Why don't they cut the salaries of their top executives? They are paid too much for the little that they do! The merger was not a good thing! It should have stayed Carolina Power and Light. The public utilities should be elected instead of appointed by the governor!

"The people of N.C. have been had. ncpilot2"

HAD is not the word I would use, but at least had gets by the censors

And to those saying where are those who supported the merger---I don't think there were very many on this site from what I could tell both before during and after the merger as well as during the UC hearings.

We can hope that the AG gets involved and is on our side.

How many people do they have that are working on rate increases. Give them the rate increase and pull the plug on all those people making up lies as to why they need an increase.

"The City of Rocky Mount is about 30% higher than our area. You do some research" I see Duke and their handmaidens in the UC are working diligently to close that discrepancy.
