My letter appeared in yesterday's (4/20) issue of The Washington Times

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why are Maryland residents unhappy about the pending rise in electric utility rates ("Voters blame lawmakers for rate increases," Metropolitan, Tuesday)? After all, for the past 30 years, environmentalists have recommended increasing energy prices to "save the planet" from air pollution and an imminent global-warming disaster, and the good voters of Maryland dutifully have elected politicians who have heeded that call.
Sky-high electric bills and $3-(or more)-a-gallon gasoline prices should make Maryland voters among the happiest people in the world. They asked for it. They voted for it.
Now they're going to get it.
