XCEL - a '3rd world' utility
I am absolutely furious at Xcel which is responsible for:
1) Starting the Marshall fire, along with a supporting role from a Cult
2) Apparently not building the electrical infrastructure to a level that would be adequate to deal with wind levels that REGULARLY occur on an annual basis - as they have for hundreds of years!
3) Using the winds as an excuse to shut down electricity to shield themselves from potential $ liability - without any regard for the massive costs and disruption they inflict on their victims (aka customers).
4) Using the outages to push for electricity rate increases. The latest is asking for TWO gas rate increases in a single quarter. Needing to do so speaks both to their chaotic operations, as well as their greed and arrogance. WHAT BUSINESS PROPOSES RAISING RATES ON ITS CUSTOMERS TWICE IN A SINGLE QUARTER!?
5) Shutting down electrical service for some mountain consumers - yet taking over a WEEK(!) to restore their power.
6) Providing electrical services with regular blackouts with little accurate communication, that make me feel like I'm living in a 3rd world country.
Thank you for your contribution!
