WV residents have been given the honor to pay for the upgrade of 3 coal fired power plants to stay open until 2040. At a cost of $448 million to WV residents. Using the last 4 years of net income as an average for those years, AEP will NET 37 BILLION. That net income would pay for 82 upgrades (3 per year avg.) of $448 million . Why can't AEP pay for it's own upgrades?? Socialism for the rich.
