TL;DR: A paper manufacturing corporation is dominated by its president, who is a member of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This company obtains its power from a generating station of which the president is principle owner, and it pays considerably more for the power than would be charged by a competing utility as mentioned in this paper.
