MQ + X = 2C Thanks for those reference Ibexx. Meanwhile, California starts to suffer blackouts because there isn't enough electricity to go around. go2net.com That's what they do in India, where they are running a really poor country. For California to run out of electricity because they don't understand economics is nuts. It shows the weakness of democracy, where people vote for dumb things - they especially like to vote to have other people's money. This seems quite silly in the USA, which is supposed to be the citadel of capitalism and free markets. The shortages could be solved overnight by canceling all laws regarding price. Let suppliers charge anyone any amount they like and there will magically appear surpluses of electricity. The suppliers will put the price up and people will turn off things which seem too expensive at the new high prices. If electricity is $10 a kilowatt hour, demand would plummet. It's not surprising that Globalstar can't figure out how to sell minutes if electricity suppliers and governments can't figure out how to run electricity supplies. I suppose the 21st century is going to be at least as ugly as the 20th century since humans are obviously just as hopeless as then. It's funny to see the USA adopting the old USSR central planning of electricity prices. It didn't work there and it won't work in the USA. What a joke. Mqurice
