Local KCAL News 9 reports:
Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce says: "If L.A. really wants to cut all ties to Arizona, then maybe Arizona should cut off the electricity supplies to the city"!
What he actually said:
Arizona Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce noted in a letter to L.A.'s mayor that 25 percent of his city's electricity comes from Arizona power plants, but that could easily change: "If an economic boycott is truly what you desire — I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to re-negotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation."
He phrased it in such a way as to put Villaraigosa on the spot.
Well LA.... here’s your chance to really go green!
Turn off them lights!
Show AZ the what for!
Yeah I love the guy said it, but I don’t see it happening. The powers that be aren’t going to let LA just shut down even if it were possible and legal.
Arizona grows where water flows.
Take ‘em off the flipping’ grid.
Same people.
You again forgot to post the video link.

Or perhaps you’re just trolling for blog hits?
Isn’t there a term for folks who do that?
Gee perhpas they could wait until warmer weather and have some powerlinemen go out to where the lines leave AZ and just unhook the lines for 24 hours just to let them know what a loss of 25% is like?
All in good fun, of course. If the internets ever allow me to have a blog, you know for damn sure I’m gonna pimp it here.
