So be it then.....BOOM, BOOM, BOOM....out go the lights!
Old Pat Traverse tune just came to mind, but it's nice to see one LA rez here, that thinks it would be a sweet thing.
The money that could be saved.....along with hundreds of polar bears, would make Al Gore and all the tree-huggin environmentalists.... quite happy, I would think.
Yeah ... but SCE actually owns the power. It just happens to get generated in Arizona. So, short of expropriating SCE's property, I don't see how AZ can shut it off.
Hands up all those in favor of states expropriating private property
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
29.1% Arizona Public Service (APS)
17.5% Salt River Project
15.8% El Paso Electric Co (Texas)
15.8% Southern California Edison
10.2% PNM Resources
5.9% Southern California Public Power Authority
5.7% Los Angeles Dept. of Water & Powe
Navajo Generating Station
24.3% U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
21.7% SRP
21.2% Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power
14.0% Arizona Public Service Co.
11.3% Nevada Power
7.5% Tucson Electric Power
I also live in California and I'm glad that Arizona is fighting back hard against this boycott.
Arizona is going to need to do more than making empty statements about power ownership and look foolish otherwise.

You know what is funny about this poll and some (most) of the reporting on the NEWS stations (like NBC ABC CBS here in CA) is that it is based on false (and somtimes intentional) misinformation. AZ never threatened anything. They only were calling out CA's bluff to boycot AZ. The lettter was very clear (which most of these news hacks did not bother to read) - basically if you (CA) want to boycot AZ we would be happy to help you and renigotiate your energy contracts. The person who wrote the letter does not have unilateral power to turn off or pull the plug even if that is what he said - and it was not. And now MSNBC (trying to generate more hatred against AZ based on this misinformation gets a poll result that supports the question.
These leftist don't read the AZ bill and now they can't even read a simply letter. Talk about BS propaganda spreading to the idiots on the left who rail against AZ and those who want the law upheld - funny indeed. I love how they falsly generate a headline then immediately go out on the streets and ask a question as if they are being neutral and unbiased.

The whole point of the statement the Arizona power official was trying to make was this.. if you really want to boycott private business in Arizona then s**t or get off the pot, in other terms either really boycott us or don't do it at all. Of course LA is not stupid enough to pull the plug.. so the city council is selectively boycotting Arizona.. which makes the Los Angeles city council look like fools. I apologize for all of the leftist idiots in California- but trust me those are mostly the overeducated and poor classes of people- they DO NOT represent mainstream Californians !!

So what represents mainstream Californians? The mayor of the largest city in the state [and second largest in the nation] along with the mayor of San Francisco, the city council of San Diego [those are the 3 most populous regions of California]; not to mention a dozen other cities in California. Maybe you mean Bakersfield and other inland farm cities in California as part of your "mainstream" but that's a mere fraction of the overall population of California. It always amazes me how Republicans can possibly think they are the majority in California. Talk about delusional.
