It looks like the electric utility industry is trying to get the public
to pay for the clean up costs which were suppossed to have already been
covered.

There is no one other than the public to pay for it. We either
pay for it now out of ratepayer funds, or pay for it later as a
consequence of using capital that otherwise would be spent
on expansion or improvement, including improvements that would
LOWER future rates.

The present problem is one primarily not of the utilities' making...it
was created by government action, Mr Carter having been the prime
instiagator...

I'm not clear on how government action, by Carter or any other
adminstration created a problem the utilities need to clean up.
Perhaps you could explain via email, or followup to an appriate
newsgroup as that would no longer be a woodworking topic.
