Answer me this… why, in August (last time the city renegotiated its natural gas rate) was it set at $10 – the going rate per unit…

But, now, we are all supposed to be happy that the city is only paying between $7 and $8 per unit… when the link above shows the going rate is closer to $4 per unit…

Seems like the city’s utility customers are being given the big shaft and being told to be happy about it…

Why would they sell us lower priced power? They are keeping the inexpensive power for their own rate payers! Why would I sell to you at $40 something I can sell to someone else for $50. Market pricing is real. Buy low, sell high!

Read up on the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and it’s rules! Then you can start telling the utilities how to run their systems.

Now if it was something that he could add to his political resume then he would be the first in line. It’s gonna take someone with the drive of Commissioner Bill Proctor to get these types of things done in this city. Mark my words all these “green” projects and just about everything else John Marks is doing is just a political game that he is playing to prepare himself for a higher level Government Position. I feel as if the steps talked about in this report can help ease some of the utility rates they we as citizens pay in the capital city of Florida.
