      Power Company Apologizes For Charging Customers For Sending Them CFLs They Didn't Ask For

      By Ben Popken, 3:02 PM on Tue Jan 15 2008, 1,707 views

      weresorry.jpgNo doubt "taking" the backlash "seriously," the Maryland power company that sent customers unsolicited CFL lightbulbs, and then silently charged them $.96/month for it, has apologized. The company will appear before the Maryland Public Service Commission tomorrow for a hearing. "We stand ready to take whatever corrective actions are deemed necessary by the commission," Allegheny Power President said. Yes, they're probably going to tell you to refund people's money, you jackasses.
