Letter: Nevada Power caters to business while we pay

Nevada Power Co. is handing out rebate checks to big businesses that are reducing their energy consumption by replacing old lights with new efficient ones.

Palace Station recently pocketed $25,000 in the form of a rebate check. Other companies have received $350 to $25,000 under their "Project Take Control."

That's funny. I've cut back almost 50 percent at my house and discontinued using some items that use a lot of power and I haven't received a rebate check from Nevada Power yet.

In fact, my power bill just keeps going up. But I forgot, Nevada Power treats big corporations and casinos differently than the average homeowner. Are you getting mad at the utilities yet?
