Serving as members of Southern Power District's Board of Directors for a combined 63 years, we have seen a number of challenges faced by the utility industry during our time of service. With all of the attention on global warming issues, Southern Power District and its customers are now facing one of the greatest challenges we have ever seen.
As a public power district, Southern has been part of a unique system that offers our customers utility rates that are among the lowest in the nation. Service as members of Southern's Board, we are accountable to Southern's customers, and know that our customers depend on affordable rates for their homes, businesses and farm operations.
The affordability of our electric rates is now in jeopardy. Global warming issues are now being discussed by our elected leaders in Washington, and unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any consideration about the impact that global warming legislation will have on our electric rates. Affordability is a factor that cannot be ignored in these discussions.
We urge you to join the Our Energy, Our Future campaign. We need your help to communicate to our leaders in Washington that affordability of our electric rates is important. By logging on to www.southernpd.com/oeof, you can communicate with U.S. Congressman Adrian Smith and Jeff Fortenberry, as well as Senators Ben Nelson and Mike Johanns.
