Hey, hi from the rotating blackout state...:-(....in their wisdom California voters asked for de-regulation of the power companies...(well it seemed like it worked for the telephone companies)...suddenly with de-regulation came the jump from 5cents to 70cents per billing unit...little apartments went from $40. to 150-250 bills and that my friend can cause a brain overload....or in political terms...a crisis. The electric companies went from being suppliers to distributors, the power plants were selling to the higher bidders...all spells ....lights out! ...So..after getting everyone plugged in with all electric homes, and all electric computers.....we are like electric addicts...of course now the government is getting into the power business to save us....:-O.....so get your mice going on those little treadmills....figure out how to use snow to make electricity, de-regulation spells PROFITS...and we are all hooked on electricity.... Last news was California politicians are headed to Montana to wave their arms in alarm over de-regulation idea there....watch out it is coming to your state soon!....Just say NO.... ...who put the kill in killowatt!....
