Samuel Insull made electricity so cheap that anyone could afford it. But to protect his empire from public ownership, he struck a deal that screwed us forever. This is his story. www.greenjuice.wtf/insulls-barg... #energysky #publicpower

Don't like your capitalist ripoff public utility? (I'm thinking PG&E especially--new gas explosion in Hayward CA where I grew up) Try socializing it!

An alternative to leaving Duke Energy and forming a traditional municipal utility might be creating a self-funding municipal sustainable energy utility like the one Ann Arbor's developing. They will do solar and batteries for households using cheap municipal financing, but alongside their existing private utility, without trying to take it over.

Leaving Duke Energy and forming a municipal-run utility instead could save residents millions on their electric bills. The estimated savings would average about 7% each year for the first five years, but then residents’ bills would be about 18% lower annually in the following 25 years as benefits accumulated.

After five years of aggressive legal maneuvering, Georgia Power has lost its battle to stop Nestlé Purina from choosing a different Georgia utility that could deliver better renewable energy options to its factory. In doing so, Georgia Power not only lost a major customer, it handed Walton EMC a victory that may open a new pathway for large companies seeking renewable energy options in Georgia.

"From small towns to large cities, community-owned, not-for-profit #PublicPower utilities power homes and businesses in 2,000 communities across the U.S. They safely provide reliable, low-cost electricity to more than 54 million Americans, while giving back to the communities they serve."

IOUs, Central Maine Power and Versant Power, spent $37.6m of ratepayer's $s to defeat legislation to create public utility.
“What we saw today is that the utilities have continued to spend money on our elections rather than our service, and that’s the story,”

Kentucky State Senator Gex Williams sees the privitization of a public utility as a "golden opportunity".
The gold would come from the pockets of Kentucky municipal utility customers and taxpayers.

Geotech survey of KyMEA's Ashwood solar project site indicates that only 255 acres of 1506 acre site is usable and they will need to switch from single axis tracking to fixed.
"This isn't bad news necessarily..." - KyMEA CEO
Does anyone know how they are going to get 86MW AC (112 MW DC) worth on panels on 255 acres?

Dear #AnnArbor friends
The feasibility study for #PublicPower has been completed. The assessment shows that a community-owned municipal electric utility is both economically feasible & preferable over the long term to continued #DTEEnergy ownership of the local grid.Go to https://www.a2gov.org/departments/city-council/Pages/Home.aspx to find your #A2Council member and tell them to DITCH #DTE!!!
