Standing up to an energy giant: Kansas town claims BP gouged on gas in Feb. freeze Dion Lefler, The Wichita Eagle
Apr. 4 MULBERRY This tiny and hard-to-find Kansas town is taking on one of the biggest energy companies on the planet, over February natural gas bills they say would bankrupt the city, the residents, or both.
Mulberry, a city of about 500 folks, is suing the mega-corporation BP formerly British Petroleum alleging that the company gouged them by raising the price of natural gas to more than 100 times the regular price during an arctic blast that began Feb. 10 and persisted for about the next 10 days.
