Glad we never have any power problems out here...... Yeah, stuff like that never seems to happen to you folks out in California... <g> I wonder with Ahhhnold the republican as your new governor if it will make it a bit easier to get some funding or help from the federal gov't to help fix your power problems. I imagine it will. Anyhow I've begun wondering which stocks should prosper during the soon-to-come improvements heading in that direction. Will the Powercosm begin to boom? Perhaps you or the Lurqerdude has some prospects? BLDP? I've been thinking that a possible strategy to fix the ailing grid would be to add smaller power plants scattered about instead of building large "supposed terrorist targets". They also will need to update their switching. This blackout seems to have happened because of their inability to quickly isolate the problemed area and remove them from the grid temporarily before they began sucking power from everywhere else. So I guess I have to figure out who makes these huge high voltage transfer switches. I imagine they will be putting in tons of them. Probably GE and Seimans will prosper during this upgrade. It seems like the power grid will be seen as a very weak link in national security. The politicians will be falling over each other to help make improvements. It's too bad I'm so friggin' bearish right now or I might actually try doing some research in these areas... <g> <ng> -EdisonsDimLightbulb
