Learn how we can lower NIPSCO Utility Costs! “United” we can Make a Difference. This meeting is to move forward with a Class Action Lawsuit.
Nipsco rate increases and NEW fees have been sanctioned by the Indiana Legislatures and the 4 PLUS bills (see below) the Indiana Legislature have passed allowing NIPSCO the capability of collecting money BEFORE they even have built any DATA CENTERS.
The Customers of NIPSCO are PAYING for AMAZON’s Data Centers (15 Billion Dollar Project – the largest in the country) in Hobart, Indiana whether they build it or not.
NIPSCO is charging customers for these Data Centers that don’t create jobs, ruin the environment and also lower property values, plus health damages.
NIPSCO Does Not Have to Justify How much Money They Charge, and they can also “bypass” the System with the newly formed GenCo corporation, and They are now accountable to Return To Blackstone a RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT (ROI) of the 2.15 BILLION Dollars Blackstone Gave to NIPSCO.
AND,
Nobody is talking about the Small Modular Reactors that might be installed for the Data Centers to Continue to increase their capacities.
These are Nuclear Reactors People.
We The People, Need to Band together.
