The FirstEnergy bailout
The more you learn, the less you'll like it
Why should customers pay for FirstEnergy’s mistakes? The Ohio-based power company made a string of bad business decisions and keeps asking customers to pay for them.
Consider the facts:
- FirstEnergy made a huge investment in coal, which crashed its profits and sent its emissions through the roof.
- In response, it is trying to kill the burgeoning clean energy industry and make ratepayers foot the bill.
- Federal regulators have blocked FirstEnergy’s bailout attempts before, and we believe the Ohio Supreme Court would likely do the same.
