Good answers to Bill's questions. One might also ask why should the people on TVA's grid system in Alabama have to pay higher electrical rates because of the massive sludge release clean up cost at the Kingston Steam plant in Tennessee? Or, why should the people in Ohio have to pay for the hurricane losses in New Orleans?

The question of corporations using their financial assets properly could also be asked of the dollars that APC spent at both Democratic and Republican National Conventions. As a stockholder of APC and a customer, I have absolutely no control at all as to whether APC elects to spends hundreds of thousands of dollars for these activities. Do union members agree as to how the union leaders spend millions to support a particular candidate or party. We all know the answers to these two questions. Corporate and Union leaders make these decisions without consulting their members or stockholders. Compliance to laws is sometimes done only under pressure from federal agencies such as FERC.

APC and no other publically traded corporation should not be allowed to deviate from agreed to guidleines at their pleasure. Property owners on Smith Lake are required by APC to adhere to standard for a 60 foot walkway length; a $250 permit fee to install a swim deck; and others. Why should APC be allowed to deviate at their pleasure and not follow the rule curve when additional capacity is needed at Gorgas. Cooling towers should have been installed years ago when the new capacity was started.
