How high was your electric bill last month? Even with a week of blackouts, electric prices soared in June. Tell @PUCOhio we need answers, #FairUtilityBills, and energy policy that puts consumer first. Learn more: https://t.co/fIFbvwLP0H #EJJA #JobsAndJustice #StopRipOffs
“Utilities are rolling back climate policy, and they are charging ratepayers to do it.” https://t.co/kZ1NtXuWyB

Yet more evidence from FirstEnergy that Ohio’s utility regulation is broken: editorial #StopRipOffs #ConsumersMatter https://t.co/WwWfpxfPhB
“Ohio electricity consumers are paying extra every month to subsidize three Ohio electric utilities (American Electric Power; AES/Dayton Power and Light; Duke Energy) that are among the owners of two coal-fueled power plants, one in Indiana.” https://t.co/YjNZH1m0LQ

“The subsidy is in place until 2030 will likely add hundreds of millions more to customer bills over the next decade.” https://t.co/qrVJBxmoMP #StopRipOffs
Ohio consumers are hurt by this until the Ohio legislature addresses it. Needs to be a priority! #stopripoffs #consumersmatter Ratepayers spent $166 million and counting bailing out coal plants under law that passed via bribes https://t.co/WnGYLwoQg3 via @OhioCapJournal
"Ohioans should not be charged a penny for FirstEnergy's tainted House Bill 6 politicking or other corporate shenanigans…" https://t.co/KIiteCViol

"The OVEC subsidies, however, remain on the books."
That'll cost Ohioans up to $700 million to prop up these failing coal plants in Ohio & Indiana. Why should consumers be forced to pay when the market wants them to close?

"Randazzo in November 2019 voted to cancel a planned 2024 review of FirstEnergy’s electricity rates...In the agreement, FirstEnergy said that its former senior executives worried the 2024 review--which they called the “Ohio hole”..." (2/4) #StopRipOffs
Records reveal STILL MORE schemes by FirstEnergy to charge consumers artificially-high prices: an official under investigation for bribery cancelled a 2024 electricity rate review, denying Ohioans lower prices. Biggest scam yet? #StopRipOffs (1/4)

You are still paying for a bailout under HB 6. You’re paying for two outdated coal plants built in the 1950s – one that’s in Indiana. https://t.co/lGDVFserOS

Read this text thread between Speaker Householder and two top FirstEnergy executives after House Bill 6 passed:
(3/3) "...These increase electricity prices but provide no corresponding benefit and will cost Ohioans roughly $700 million extra through 2030, unless repealed." #repealallofhb6 #ConsumersMatter #stopripoffs
.@teresa_fedor: “Consumers never get the benefit that they say they’re getting at such a good deal,” she said. “To me, it’s snake oil salesmanship...allowing this type of regulatory scheme to be in place in Ohio.” #ConsumersMatter #StopRipOffs https://t.co/GrYnlGNqlG
Coal plants’ owners fight to protect ‘worst of the bad subsidies’ #StopRipOffs #ConsumersMatter

Nail on head: "unregulated monopolies necessarily lead to higher costs, less efficiency and limited innovation"

Utility companies are only supposed to bill ratepayers for programs that benefit ratepayers (plus legally sanctioned profit margins).
They can spend money on other stuff if they want to, but shareholders are supposed to pay for it.

'"We don't know what Icahn will do and we should watch him with a careful eye"... Icahn will be involved in a series of governance issues with FirstEnergy and that will have an impact on the utility's customers.' #StopRipOffs #ConsumersMatter
FirstEnergy's 2 new Icahn directors need strong oversight, watchdog groups tell regulators https://t.co/G6RWbJUc8o via @beaconjournal @BeaconJournal
When Rep. Kirk Schuring says:
“I’m 100% in favor of OVEC,” .. “Unabashedly in favor of OVEC.”
he is also saying:
I am 100% in favor of corporate bailouts.
I am unabashedly in favor of corporate greed and corruption. #RepealALLofHB6
