The worst thing? the electric companies don't really want to do this. It's not cost-effective. The only reason we're doing it is because your government is making us.


That should be a concern right there, in and of its self. I think that's what Jerry is talking about. "Good intentions" from the government, something I can do without.

In other news: The headquarters of FERC was closed for three days (in June) because of a power failure. FERC is the federal agency responsible for ensuring reliable electric power.
