A piece of legislation is before the U.S. House that could drive up your electricity bill by 47 percent.
The proposed bill would put a cap on carbon dioxide emissions output for all electricity companies.
As part of a national effort alerting rate-payers, Grand Valley Power is sending a letter to their customers.
they know their customers are hurting in this economic climate, and urges them to speak up.

The only counter to an increase like that is to nationalize health care. The savings in nationalizing health care is the only way the middle class will be able to afford such an increase in energy.

Nuke plants don’t emit CO2 do they? Doesn't matter. Liberals saw Jane Fonda in The China Syndrome and they are scared to death of "nukes". They know big business and weird nuclear engineers want to kill them and they don't care 'bout no stinkin' facts - they know what they feel.

I've been telling everyone who will listen about this, and still they won't believe me.
This hike will cause more home foreclosures and deaths due to heat and cold.
To many Americans are sitting idle on the train tracks.

Give ‘em credit. They’ve managed to turn hot air in to money. And since the big boys are going to profit, it’s a done deal sooner or later.

Mark my words, the American People will show their displeasure in the next election by sending 98% of the incumbents back in to office.
