Good that you posted that just before my posting below. You see, you never know what kind of 'wayo' one would be doing, at a given time. hence if you sign a future contract it doesn't guarantee your sleep at night.
The only thing one can do for himself is understand that 'wayo' is a fact of life. That as soon as there is money on the table the knives come out, the contracts are tore apart, son beats the father, mother stabs the daughter and so it goes.

Of course some guys are going to say that this is because I have lived only in authoritarian countries where there is no rule of the law and such. Those are the ones who live until becoming the appetizer.

But I will survive long after the monster have had the dessert and will be sound asleep digesting the 'clever' guys.

A cyber friend of mine in LiuZhou, GuangXi province, told me that the city residential buildings only have electricity bet. 6am till 8pm, so she can't even use computer outside that time frame. Talk about growing pain<g>

Jay - What about the utilites using their political and banking connections to pressure the coal suppliers ?

Letting the political establishment know that the coal companies are not playing by the rules, while offering to accept some price increase, may be useful.

Or, the power company could by a coal company....as a number of US power companies did.
