If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation.

YEAH BABY, GAME ON!!

Let the LA bastards freeze bake in the dark.

Perfect time of year to bring that up. I understand that it would be closer to 100% of the power out. I heard that shutting down 25% would increase the demand on the balance and fry the entire system almost immediately.

Oh well, LA will be standing up for "what is right". Of course, they will be standing in a pool of sweat.

Smoot-Hawley returns.

One of the drivers of the U.S. economy is free interstate trade. If that winds down, welcome to the Greater Depression.

unfortunately, that would give Osama the perfect reason to come in and take over the utilities [for the good of everyone of course]...
