"What exactly is the "coercion" you're seeing?" Ron, I believe you are now carrying this to the extreme only Ollie North could appreciate. {:^) How about rolling blackouts? Why? Interrupted generation capacity. Why? Non-scheduled maintenance on facilities. Why? To reduce capacity. Why? To put pressure on the state to allow more capacity to be built, even without demonstrating its need unless, of course, an artificial shortfall of capacity is devised. Start at the beginning: Is this or is this not an artificially created situation? To my way of evaluating the facts, it is transparently so. The money already owed is simply the muscle being flexed. That is the argument. You have your answer as to what is the coercion....now, yes or no, are they or aren't they using muscle to shove aside the voter's legally binding decisions?
