Back some 40 years ago when I started in the business the industry operated on a vertically integrated business model. Each regional electric utility had responsibility for all aspects of providing service to customers; Generation, Transmission and local distribution. All planning for future load growth was the sole responsibility of the utility. Woe betide the company that had service or reliability issues due to poor planning. You’d get your ass hauled up before the state regulatory commission to explain why. And your chances of getting what you asked for in your next rate case diminished considerably.
I never think that was a bad business model and I think it could work again. Yep
The dirty light secret to Elon’s billions is that he got “credits” for each EV he sold which he then sold said “credits” to others who needs to buy said “credits” to offset their carbon emissions. For years Tesla never turned a profit on actually selling actual electric vehicles. Those were and still are losers. I suspect that the EV part of Elon’s empire is toast in 4-5 years.
Nothing against the WNBA or the Indiana Fever, but just out of curiosity I’d like to see a matchup between them and this year’s Indiana High School Boys 4A champs, Fishers High School. They went 29–1 against some of the toughest competition in the Indianapolis Metro region.
Had me going there for a second. Just read the headline and got so excited I failed to see the source. However, I’d take a farmer or construction project manager over any Ivy Leaguer any day.
The only plausible way out of this is a combination of SUBSTANTIAL cuts in spending, as in the abolition of entire departments and entitlements and massive tax increases. This will hit the middle class extremely hard as that is where most where the real money is.
Most politicians know this but they insist on whistling past the graveyard. They don’t want this to hit on their watch. It will be uglier than most can imagine.
These idiots are becoming insufferable. I say implement 2 year mandatory military service for all males aged 18-20. Let ‘em complain to the DI about being “irrevocably shaken”. Yeah, that’ll work, MAGGOT!
Dear God. We’ve become 1938 Germany. Will history label today’s Democrats as “good Americans”, who said nothing and looked away as the Jews were led to slaughter once again?
Joe Biden and all the rest are vile, loathsome creatures, not fit to be called human beings.
I would prefer Trump be our Oliver Cromwell. Particularly the part where he strides in and dissolves the Rump Parliament. “You are no more fit to lead this nation than you are to run a brothel!” One of the greatest movie scenes ever and so very, very much needed today.
That’s a great blog. Read it every day. Rumor is around a thousand Chicago coppers are going either retire or quit between now and the DNC convention in august. Get out while the gittn’s good, as they say.
Around my neck of the woods I probably see at least 2-3 people open carrying in the local Kroger store every time I go in. Probably that many more being more discreet. That dude would have been taking a dirt nap before the cops could get out of the doughnut shop.
