I hope they do cut the illegal immigrant loving bums (that are bankrupting CA) off! AZ would find other customers in a heartbeat.

It would be much harder than you are making it out to be. It's all about who owns and runs the infrastructure that delivers the power. It's not as easy as flipping a switch and now another company supplies the power. It would cost mega bucks to make the cutover.

At the same time, if there's no wording in the contract that covers renegotiating rates before the contract term, then this again goes back to Political postering that could pretty much come back to bit AZ in the end. I certainly hope before he published that letter, that he read the contract very carefully and didn't just insert foot in mouth.

And yet another self-defeating rhetoric from AZ. I guess they won't mind losing 25% of their revenue... what is that, when they are already in a s-hole?

Think they can revise contracts... LOL, let them have it.

Yes the illegal immigrants have made AZ a s-hole and now they are cleaning house. Hopefully they will all run to LA and make that s-hole a mega s-hole, further bankrupting the state and degrading the schools some more.

They will just tear the contract up. That's what a boycott is right? Contracts can be broken and it happens all the time.

Which one of you liberal stooges on the forum want to stand up and volunteer to wear the Dunce Hat for the collective group of idiots that thought a boycott would actually do something productive?

I doubt that it is the City of LA that has the contracts anyway. Most likely it is Southern California Edison (based in Rosemead LA) who owns the contracts and who delivers the power at rates agreed by the Commission. I believe, too, that SCE also owns 15% of the Palo Verde nuclear generating station just outside Phoenix.

That is why these "boycotts" are stupid. Firstly, it is all political posturing with very little substance, secondly our economies are too intertwined for them to be able to work anyway.
