Wake up and smell the extortion. Late Tuesday night, after two full days of rolling blackouts, Gov. Davis and lawmakers promised to make sure the QF energy generators are paid. Yesterday, there were no blackouts. Maybe a timeline would help.
Utilities say they're broke, default on payments to generators.
Consumers Should Not Pay a Dime. Because it's easier for the utilities to attack the ratepayers rather than their energy industry buddies. But now that the facts are in, it must be clear that the ratepayers are innocent and all talk of consumer rate increases must cease. The utilities should drop their lawsuit against the state and begin one against the energy pirates. Rewrite those long-term contracts.
