Since I live in Calif., our biggest problem is that the state got their hands into it with "deregulation" and you know what happens whan that happens. We have plenty of power, but the producers what an arm and a leg for it. The state says that distributors can only charge so much for it and that is much lower than what they pay.
WARNING!!!! Calif. is the 6th largest economy in the world. Take away their power and the whole country suffers.
We've been talking about electrical power here, but the word is that the natural gas suppliers will quit selling gas middle of this week because they haven't been paid. My winter gas bill went from 75.00 to 180.00 last month and looking for an increase of 86% next month.
