Thanks. Something else to think about is that one of the biggest political issues in New York these days is the pressure that the state government is putting on the Federal government to reject the license renewal for the Indian Point nuclear power plant in the Hudson River valley.

New York is already making plans to make up for the lost power transmission capacity once that plant is shut down. It will involve purchasing more and more power from Hydro-Quebec, and the long-term prognosis is likely to be for higher utility rates.

I always have to remember that we in the West are probably the cleanest, healthiest most safety conscious group of humans the world has ever seen.

At least New York is PREPARING for the worst, not just sitting on its proverbial thumbs waiting passively for things to happen a la Henny Penny.

There is a price to pay for that isn't there? WHAT would you folks do there without morning electricity? Oooooeeee, THINK of the hair that wouldn't get blown dried.

Men would wear beards. Women would wear scarves.

At least you have utilities.

Question: Do prices EVER go down on ANYTHING besides year-end sales of cars?
Not that I notice.
