The Alliance to Protect Electricity Consumers is a group of consumer, environmental, senior citizen, industry and labor groups that believe that they must be listened to when the electric industry is restructured. This is not the first time such a group has come together. We join forces each time there is an energy crisis. And an energy crisis could occur if restructuring is not done responsibly, with care, with sensitivity, with thoughtfulness.
Electric power is one of our nation's greatest assets.
It contributes to the well-being of households and industry. Our electric rates are among the lowest in the world. We have service day and night. It is efficient and reliable. Consumers have the added protection that electric utilities are held accountable by federal, state, and local regulators.
