Subj: Calpine power plant feedback From: [email protected] This is a case of 'cherry picking'. Calpine comes into the PG&E service territory and picks off a few choice big customers. They get a deal on power but the rest of us
suffer in two ways. First, we have to content with the pollution. Sure, it may be less polluting than a 50 year old plant up the Peninsula but the base line here is an open field
with no pollution. Second, the lost margin PG&E will experience when they loose choice customers will get added to the rate base - the collection of legitimate costs that
influence our rates. The result for us will be higher electric rates. The public and small businesses loose both ways while Calpine and a few big corporations improve their
profit margins. |
