Yeah, we need new plants, too. Demand for electricity in the next few years is expected to increase by double digit percentages. Can't transmit what you haven't generated.

Ok, fine. I'm all for building new plants. But the cost of new plants shouldn't be tabulated in the cost of repairing the grid. That's something different altogether.

Rates already have built into them plant costs, so an increase in demand shouldn't automatically translate into an increase in rates.
