AEL&P, the local power company here in Juneau, has been under attack lately for poor judgment; there have been the odd report or two that an AEL&P emloyee was lightly pummeled by a disgruntled customer.
Why? Over the course of the last couple of decades, AEL&P allowed several power generator system to deteriorate and then took them off line. Those other systems, had they been maintained could have made a critical difference in this situation. But, they were dismantled and scrapped. And friends who usually had bills in the under $100 range found that their bill jumped to $350 to $400 this month. Those on fixed incomes are having a tough time of things.
How sweet is that? They screw up, barrow interest free money to fix their screw up and make a profit on the work and then permanently raise the base rates . . . again. Welcome to our world.
So, whats going on in your corner of the world? Burma's poor are suffering and dieing, wars are being fought and the energy crunch is driving fuel and food prices through the roof and we can't get past this crunch to help anyone else out because we're paying for repairs that never should have occurred.

The guy gets a bit 'whacko' and unrefined with his imaging when he's allowed out.
