[WardFive] Re: [ward5] Please forward along....PEPCO Profits

Thanks Eric in DC.  Didn't you say that you are a City Planner as well!!!  All we need is a few more situations like this (of course without injury) for everyone to fully get on board if some are still has this Street Car as their priority.  Strange how most of us become agreeable quickly when we all get affected!! Got to love it. 

 

What do they need with 68 million and still asking for 42 mil more.  And that 68 million if profits from their slow usage quarter - Imagine what they usually profit over the years when they don't have these storms during the peak months with the AC running or during the Christmas season!!!

 

But Really, thanks for the info. Maybe we can find out if the main contracting companies are owned by executives in Pepco and how all these subcontractors are being paid.  By the way, I just wanted to mention that some (non - emergency)  regular pole replacement work and new electric wire was replaced by a Truck from Connecticut over in Woodridge.  I mention this because I am wondering why some company other than Pepco was on this Job.  Like I said, it has to be more profitable for them to fight undergrounding the wires when DC was footing alot of the Bill and the fact that there is no existing plan of undergrounding the wires.

See below - if you take the trolley car money and carbarn money along with the salaries of PEPCO executives - it is a good start for burying the power lines. Just to add to this a bit - PEPCO blames the trees and poor infrastructure which seem to be the primary issues. Burying the power lines solves the issues for the healthy trees. Perhaps the gov't could coordinate with other companies in addition to Pepco. Perhaps Verizon, Comcast and RCN would like to bury their lines as well?

Tell PEPCO to use their profits to improve the power grid for their DC customers

Pepco CEO: Invest your millions in profits to improve our power system
Started by: Kevin, washington, District Of Columbia
In the first 3 months of this year the utility company Pepco made $68 million in profit. In 2009 the CEO of Pepco, Joe Rigby, made $2.9 million in personal income.
My neighbor is 70 years old, her name is Kay, and she has now been without power for 4 days in this sweltering heat.
For almost $3 million a year, Joe Rigby needs to be held to account. We demand, on behalf of all the seniors, poverty-stricken and children, that Pepco immediately begin investing their profits in improving our power and implement a long term solution to these unacceptable delays.
Invest your profits in your customers!
