The bottom line is, we are working to give our customers and our utility more energy independence.

The bottom line is we are working to give our customers and our utility more energy independence. Over the long term we're trying to shield our customers, as much as we can, from the financial stings an unstable energy market can inflict.

The market dynamics at the time (that) we were considering those cases distorted the market and resulted in prices that were probably not going to be sustained through the course of this year.

The problem comes in with the 40 percent increase in utility bills. These energy bills are tearing people apart, with the cold weather we've had.

What's happening is we own very little generation; the utility companies own very little generation.

We might just be at the point where the utility of the Internet stalls--and perhaps turns downward.

We are trying to make things as pleasant as we can. We got a roof on so it doesn't leak anymore. We are ripping up and replacing damaged floor in the utility room.

We will come back and do the outside work during the week.

It's a good way for the utility to spread the cost out over time and at a time too, when interest rates are relatively low. Doing it makes a lot of sense.

There were a bunch of rumors. One was that the bank had a lot of exposure, unspecified, to the California utility industry.

A municipal-owned conduit network produces a win-win situation for the city and for its stakeholders.
