The issue is whether or not PP&L Energy Education Program. SEA has filed a complaint with the PUC, asking the Commission to disallow that part of PP&L’s rate increase request that would be used for the education program. SEA contends by Dick Swank Pennsylvania Press Bureau Thank heavens for the World Series.

I know they have to fill in time with whatever they can grab, but do they have to keep grabbing below the belt? Even between the innings of those playoffs for the National League title there were commercials about how this visionary could solve mysteries by getting hold of the skull of the victim to guide it towards the person who had Zl c that PP&L, with nearly 3 billion dollars invested in nuclear power, offer a balanced, unbiased education program - and that if it wants to try to re-educate students, its stockholders should pay for it. If the PUC rules in SEA’s favor, it will save PP&L customers 2% million dollars. “We've said it before,” stated SEA spokesperson Gerald R. Schultz, “PP&L is a public utility, not a public school. It has no business trying to re-educate students, and it cannot be unbiased. One need only look at PP&L’s “Energy Information Center” or examine the statements of PP&L’s public spokesmen, to see that PP&L is exceedingly biased in favor of nuclear power.” PP&L, of course, disagrees, and has filed an answer with the PUC stating that it can and will present a balanced program.
