OMG! Keryn, tell the truth, you posed as an ad agency, hypnotized AEP's marketing execs then WHAM...hit the with the most utterly twisted thing they could never dream of and made the masochists think they got a prize!!!! BRILLIANT move Ker!

So, in the TV ad, AEP accuses FE of "buying energy at unfair rates" and selling it in Ohio at lower rates than AEP charges. What does that mean? I thought economic dispatch and free markets were the gospel for all the big PJM power companies.

Is AEP saying that buying power off the PJM grid is "unfair." Is PJM saying that PJM's "market mechanisms" are "unfair"?

It is hilarious that AEP is whining about "unfair." These corporate people don't like it when they have to live in the real world instead of throwing their political and economic muscle around to always get their way. I have been engaged with a number of AEP people here in WV in the last six months, and it seems that most of them are stuck in whine mode.

Good one, Bill! AEP bolts from the starting blocks after watching the other horses enter the home stretch... Oh, but don't feel sad for that cute little AEP minx, she's making a bundle! blog.cleveland.com/letters/2012/04/aep_unduly_profits_off_of_ohio.html

If they keep this up, electric consumers in Ohio just might save some money!

It's awful nice of them to keep us amused while we wait for the abandonment of the PATH Project, don't ya think?

Why, sure, why else are they seeking to stash all their generation assets in regulated states now that Ohio is actually expecting them to comply with deregulation, to an extent. This will make APCO's electricity even more expensive when a cool one million is added to the WV rate base, along with Ohioans current share of environmental retrofits and a whole bunch of other stuff. APCO customers ain't seen nothin' yet!

*sniff* I miss Mikey... he was so predictable in his evil despot role. LDB doesn't have a clue and is not very competent in the role... it almost takes all the fun out of picking on him because he is so completely clueless. Who sold him that stupid commercial? And why did no one at AEP step back and make the observation that in whining about "unfairness" and "buying low, selling high" they're actually encouraging more customers to switch providers to take advantage of the "buying low" thing. Way to kick yourself in ass, AEP! :-)

Don't miss the Q1 2012 AEP earnings call on Friday, it's bound to be highly entertaining!

Dear AEP,

Bitch, please!
