Who Sells Electricity?
Sales by each kind of provider in 2011 (latest data available) totaled:
Investor-owned utilities — 54%
Non-Utility & Power Marketers — 19%
Public Utilities — 15%
Cooperatives — 11%
Federal Power Marketing Authorities — 1%
Ok, I was wrong on that point of utility ownership, which is really irrelevant to the main point of this topic, but the issue of whether EMPs are a threat to the electrical grid is the main issue, and I agree with those - including many experts in the field - who think it is an issue. I am getting sick of these moronic conservatives who seem to think that ALL government action is communistic. I think they are mentally challenged, quite simply, stupid.
