XCEL USERS!! (CO, MN, other states) - READ THIS!
Edited on Wed May-03-06 02:23 PM by HawkeyeX
Dear Friend,

Xcel Energy, owner of Colorado’s largest utility, just reported a 25 percent increase in profits over the previous year. Xcel’s huge profits come at a time when customers have been reeling from skyrocketing bills all winter. Home heating bills, on average, rose 25 percent to 40 percent in Colorado during the peak winter months.

What’s worse is that two weeks ago Xcel requested an electric rate increase by 19 percent, a $209 Million overall increase on residential customer and small business bills. This morning Xcel admitted that this is likely to be the first in a series of hikes on consumers.

We need your help now in developing an unprecedented campaign to hold Xcel accountable to Colorado consumers.

We, the people, need to get Xcel to stop hiking our rates!!!!

1. they overbilled me $800 this winter too
I had to pay to avoid having my utilities cut off, but they admitted their mistake two months ago and still no credit . . .

Our energy industry, from oil companies to power companies should be nationalized.
