11. At worst case the federal government.

If politicians refuse to pass domestic terrorist laws what is the recourse? Pass the law, throw the first batch of turds in jail and after they lose everything the next simpletons to come along may think twice. As it is….not so much! But…they won’t pass the law because it is beginning to look like a whole lot of them are domestic terrorists themselves.

Fiduciary duty don't you know.

Don’t recall that discussed in the bit I listened to …

8. As a Duke customer, my 1st thought was rate increase next year to pay for security enhancements

because their insurance will not cover extra security features and infrastructure improvements needed to prevent these incidents from occurring again.


But this at least can be justified unlike the time they had the audacity to list political contributions to Repub politicians in fine print of list of expenses that they based their application for rate increase. Fortunately current Gov. Roy Cooper was our Atty General at the time and he got on their case to deny the rate increase and make it clear political contribs were not a valid basis for in our state for asking to raise electric rates.

10. They used for a rate increase

Energy efficient homes paying less for power …

Great excuse to raise prices.
