I would say this situation is coming here in 10 years. In terms of utility planning, 10 years is the near future. Unless the rats and their green allies back away from their plans to impose alternative energy mandates and stop coal and nuclear plants, we will have energy shortages and much higher prices. If the rats take complete control in 2009, we should look forward to a future of walking, biking, shivering, sweating, and conserving. Although the top rats will not live in this manner, our humbled existence will bring tears to their eyes.
