The fuel surcharge may come from provisions of the 1978 act. The problem for us locally is that we are on an island. Any energy we produce is not connected to the mainland grid, so we should be exempt from some of the provisions of the federal law, just as some of the Jones act provisions should not apply to us. The problem seems to be that you and I don't have the money to get the attention our own representatives and senators.
