The opinion
Dissenting Opinion by
President Judge COLINS.
I wish to indicate that I join fully in the dissenting opinion of Judge Simpson.
*1161 Further, I wish to state my belief that the majority is substituting its judgment for that of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC), as well as engaging in unauthorized fact finding. As indicated by Judge Simpson, the plain language of the “general rule” mandates an affirmance of the PUC’s action.
Judge SIMPSON joins in this dissent.
