How come people get so offended over others’ beliefs and opinions? Have we thrown “Let’s just agree to disagree” out the window? It’s worse when somebody asks you about where you stand on a particular topic, and when you tell them your option, they ridicule you and insult you for having a different belief.

PECO electric utility is unbiased and some would say agnostic about electric choice in Pennsylvania.

Consumer fraud is a common way to make additional money from gullible consumers. Companies that work with a large volume to make a profit typically find ways to hide the dirty details of their price from their customers so they can offer one price but charge the customer something completely different. In a similar fashion politicians are increasingly showing themselves to be something completely different from their true colors. As in a consumer service the customer gets 3 – 4 months into a contract when they begin to notice they got something much different than what they thought they agreed to. Unfortunately the consumer did not read 43 sentences down on page 7 of their contract where additional fees and charges would be added. A politician may do something similar and because the masses quickly forget this process has become standard operating procedure in the political arena because no one holds these politicians accountable to their platform they ran on.

Undoubtedly, the nuclear disaster in Japan has many in the United States wondering about nuclear power, and many are scared after seeing the recent media coverage. Still, as an energy option, the pros of nuclear power are simply stacked against both traditional, fossil fuel options as well as “clean energy” plants like wind farms.
