Power bigwig just said on CNN--RULES WERE BROKEN!!!!!

[Gloria]

CNN just interviewed a guy named Michael Gent....who heads the "Reliability" group or whatever...he said that "rules" were broken.
What rules???? Supposedly, the 21 plants are supposed to all work cooperatively...but he specifically stated that RULES WERE BROKEN....

another symptom of DEREGULATION???

If I were Gray Davis......

1. The North-East just experienced their first....

ROVING BLACKOUT! :evilgrin:
Anyone else notice the plethora of 'experts' who started their remarks with the phrase "We have the best MILITARY in the world but our power systems are antiquated"? :shrug:
(Hint: 3 in a row on GEMSNBC!)

2. I wonder what Wall Streeters think about deregulation and

free market trade now?

[Rose Siding]

5. The private companies don't want to invest in upgrades

because that would cut into profits. So the greedy *ahems* overload old systems.

8. This blackout will probably cost the public way way more than

deregulation ever was claimed to save (even though those claims were all lies).

3. I just wonder

Which plant was shut down in order to drive up energy prices in time for Bushie's campaign. Deja vu, anyone?

[The Backlash Cometh]

6. All that money that's going into Republican coffers...

...has to come from somewhere. Good point.

[Rose Siding]

4. That must be why Hillary spoke with such confidence

Richardson is on CNN now, blasting the foot dragging on building up the system- she would have talked to him.

7. the blackmail starts tomorrow

it's exactly what happened in California when we were all blackmailed by friends of Bush. Expect demands to be made tomorrow

9. YEP!!Brilliant..* will say "Everyone donate your backyard to oil drills"

"Yesssssss"as he twists his interlocked hands,"give me all
your assets so that I can be the richest of all the world"

These ROBBER BARONS have got to go!!!!!

Nothing but convicts they are........put them behind bars!!!
