Comments on: Gulf Power Rate Settlement Approved http://www.northescambia.com/2017/04/gulf-power-rate-settlement-approved Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:50:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Amanda http://www.northescambia.com/2017/04/gulf-power-rate-settlement-approved/comment-page-1#comment-340713 Amanda Sat, 08 Apr 2017 23:26:49 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=282510#comment-340713 I imagine that all of these folks complaining about the rate hike are the same ones that complain when severe weather or acts of God take out their power. They expect those guys to get out and fix it right away (and they do) when they wouldn't let their dog out in it. I would also imagine that most of theservice people complaining couldn't last a full shift on that job. Find something to get happy about and appreciate the luxuries afforded to you by people like my husband. - From the wife of a lineman who is so sick of ungrateful people!

They have been charging us since then and gas has been around $2.00 for a couple of years. When does that expire?

I don't like that we have neglected to fix our America. Thank you Gulf Power for all that you provide and I will gladly give for a reasonable reason like that. Thank you also Employees who leave our town to save regions everywhere with your skill. Well counted on systems like our power company and mail system keep our country a place that everyone Else is trying to get to. Recognize decent when you see it.

They will become antiquated within a few decades as other forms of sustainable, marketable energy becomes available. That's how you break up this little monopoly. Go solar and screw them.

However, people on fixed incomes will bear the hardship. When pennies count- they will have to do without AC/heat several days a month to offset the price difference. Heaven forbid Gulf Power actually take a short term loss. A loss that would be quickly regained after the Kemper plant came on line.
