you are mistaken my friend. you cannot mount a counter-argument, you just say it's bullshit, and expect US to believe it.
just because you say it's bullshit, doesn't make it so, no matter how hard you want it...
there are NOT plenty of businesses that would love to make electricity. where I live, PRIVATE companies supply the electricity. my energy comes from wind farms, AND IT'S CHEAPER THAN COAL. this is because the windfarm develops too much electricity for it's currently small clientele, so it sells extra capacity to the COAL burning industry, giving it the ability to charge less per kilowatt hour...
ain't that a bitch. and the rolling black outs are due to a surge in demand, and blackouts are necessary to avoid 'frying the system'.... it's government sponsored because all that wire was laid out by the government, so they have to take care of it. it is in the people's best interest to have momentary blackouts, than what would happen if an overload causes permanent damage which could take weeks, months to fix... too much trouble for what it's worth, the easiest, smartest, and most importantly SIMPLEST solution to the unexpected surge in demand is to have rolling blackouts.....
it's not a conspiracy, it's smart utilities management. now, was that too hard to understand?????
and if your gonna attack obama at least have the courtesy to attack his actions, his words, not his ears.... he's not the one that looks like an ass when you do that....
