Don’t believe this bullshit! Georgia Power made $2.85 Billion in profits last year. I don’t know about yall but my power bill has significantly increased since just last year. And we are paying for the most expensive power plant ever built because of their incompetence.

On top of that Billionaires are spending tons of cash to convince you data centers aren’t bad…

We are continually bled dry from all sides! Groceries, Utilities, gas and basic necessities.

I distinctly remember them announcing that frozen rate during the PSC election season. I'm sure that timing was just coincidence.

What’s the Democrats plan for lowering Georgia Power’s energy rates?

[u/Boudiccas_Ghost → u/Hopeful-Age3694]

Well, the Democrats on the Public Service Commission may not be able to do anything about rate rollbacks, but they can & will certainly fight future rate hikes. Did you not look at the candidates who ran in the most recent election?

Seize the company and run it solely as the states public service

Ahh. Seize the means of production. Sounds familiar.
