Federal court rules electricity rebates are due in California
Source: Los Angeles Times
A federal court this week ruled that two government power agencies are liable for overcharging California ratepayers by more than $1 billion during the state's energy crisis of 2000 and 2001.
The California Public Utilities Commission, which has been pursuing the overcharging claims for 11 years, announced that the U.S. Court of Claims in Washington, D.C., ruled that the Bonneville Power Administration and Western Area Power Administration sold electricity at extremely high prices. California at the time was desperate for power to contain a series of rolling brownouts and blackouts.
... In a related decision in February, an administrative law judge at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission found that about a dozen private energy companies overcharged California by about $1 billion. The decision will go before FERC for ratification later this year.

(8,124 posts).. If there is even a middle class left after the Belt-Way-Boys get done screwing America.
Clinton passed NAFTA.. deregulated the banks and cut welfare to the bone.
Clinton also deregulated media ownership rules..... which gave us Fox News.
Obama PROMISED he would not sign NDAA... but he did... so sorry.
You can now be hunted and killed with no trial and no Jury Hearing. Due Process is dead under Obama...
Obama promised he would end the wars.. yet he sent 33,000 new troops to combat?
My only question is: if George Bush did these horrible things... people would be up in arms.
Yet, if Obama creates Tyranny ... everyone is fine with it?
No, I'm not a troll.. and I don't give a damm about Left or Right... but I do know ...we are being SCREWED by our elected leaders in Washington.
