BPA is trying to kick the Al producers off so they can rape you harder and faster -- market prices for electrical energy went ape starting 3 years ago -- consumers have been "shielded" from this. It's real -- but it is not "cost-based" in that the prices charged are really a
so-called "insurance premium." You have to f*ck them hard enough when you can so that you can withstand the possibility of being f*cked if you have a plant go down ... it isn't unlike the market in other commodities.

Regulation really has not been too bad for electrical energy prices (looking back 10 - 20 years from say 1997) --

you want free markets? This is a natural result ... if the move to free markets fail ... not impossible, IMO -- we won't get back to where we were. IF this slows things down in other states, it will be a good thing. We are positioned well -- it makes no difference to me -- just depends on what the public wants as a whole.
