National Grid for gas LIPA for electric,, used to be LILCO
LILCO decided to build a nuclear power plant out in Shorham back in the late 60's
It was a job that the unions just loved. They would install something on a Monday and rip it out on a Tuesday/
The cost ballooned to $6 billion before it ever opened 
Then one day, a wise man said Long Island could never evacuate if a problem Chernobyl ever happened here
So then the chant started to close the plant before it ever opened.
As part of a buyout, LILCO became LIPA and the rate payers got postage paid envelopes to send in the bill WOW 
They have since rescinded the free postage envelopes
