Arizona Flippin' the Switch on California
But we sure as hell like it.
If California is adamant about going through with the state boycott...it seems they may not be looking past the end of their own nose. Arizona's power commission is considering asking Arizona utility companies to cut off the power supply to Los Angeles, LA gets about 25 percent of its power from Arizona.
Here's part of Arizona Corporation Commission member Gary Pierce's letter to the mayor:
If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation.
I am confident that Arizona’s utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands. If, however, you find that the City Council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona’s economy.
