So, one can spend money and build new grids, and everyone else can use them for free? That doesn't sound like a sound plan, and that doesn't sound like a free market. That's just more evidence of government bungling, isn't it?

You'll have plenty of time to contemplate that statement when you're sitting in the dark some night or laid up in the hospital because the traffic lights at an intersection went dark during a rolling black out. Let me know if your change your mind.

LOL! Do you write speeches for politicians in your spare time? If that happened to me, I'd be pretty pissed at the California government for creating this mess. One could easily make the case that rolling blackouts are a result of the California government failing to allow the price of power to escalate high enough to ration it out properly.

<IOW they don't want to spend the money (and haven't for some time now) knowing other companies do/will have open access to their lines...so much for responsibility, free markets and competition, eh?>

ROFLMAO!!! Your quoting a Federal 'regulation' for the reason deregulation doesn't [won't] work!
