Louisiana utility companies still want to charge customers for the costs of a new energy efficiency program and for the electricity no longer needed due to that program.
These people need their knees broken man. If there’s no brutal, satisfying, divine punishment for demons in Louisiana of all places, then how can god exist
Profits will be privatised, losses will be socialised, no exceptions.
I can't wait to see the utility company being sued into the ground for attempting to extract money from its customers who didn't use their service.
What's next, MacDonald's going after health food stores?
Shell going after electric vehicle owners?
When was the last time a large company was “sued to the ground” for wronging its customers or society? Heavily fined? Sure. Purdue went bankrupt, yet none of the family members are charged. They’ll just pop up another company or pass on the wealth to the next generation, and it’ll be another multi decade before that iteration is ‘sued to the ground.’ Like medicine, you should treat the symptoms, but you also need to prevent the symptoms from happening or else it’ll keep returning.
Not to mention, the companies are lobbying for it to be a LAW. If it gets passed and not vetoed, it means no one will be taking your lawsuit seriously.
How about internet services suing companies that doesnt advertise?

Most efficient system btw
