They were lampooning DC’s electrical utility PEPCO, hated for unreliable service and skyrocketing rates, while educating passers-by about mountaintop removal coal mining and the destruction this practice causes in Appalachia.
A community activist warned that PEPCO is now seeking legislation (first attempt failed) or other governmental deals to provide a GUARANTEED PROFIT, fearing lower demand from lower-income residents as energy efficiency improves.
