Finally, Something Good About Pepco

A popular topic of conversation in the Washington Metropolitan Area is dissatisfaction with the Potomac Electric Power company, or Pepco. When the heat in your hotel room cuts off every time the temperature starts to creep up past 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or all the electric power in your neighborhood is shut off for five days after a storm that didn't even break the summer heat, you probably don't care to think about the magnitude of the job population congestion has given Pepco. You may also notice that Pepco kilowatt-hours cost more than kilowatt-hours measured on your bill in your home town. Bad, bad, bad Pepco!

All corporations are, however, made up of human beings. Inevitably, sometimes those humans do good things as well as bad things. Clinton Yates shares a link to the Washington Post report on Pepco employees saving a child from a fire:
