## Resource

Mon Power’s $2.4 billion natural gas plant near Morgantown is poised to power the future — but at a cost. With a proposed $1.18 monthly fee for customers, the Public Service Commission must decide by March after final hearings. Critics warn the charge hits small users hardest, while Mon Power argues self-funding would strain finances — and hopes data center contracts will offset costs. But with no signed deals yet, the promise remains unproven. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
