Someday, a blue city or state will have a blackout during a polar vortex, when the sun doesn't shine, and when they turn off the windmills. They won't have enough coal or gas plants to cover the grid, so they will just go down for a week or so. And in doing so, hundreds of people could die due to the weather.

What could possibly go wrong with a high integrity, well-run, efficient city government like Chicago running something as simple as the electric and natural gas provider for the city?
To: rigelkentaurus
they could ban electricity like they have guns - that will ensure plenty for everyone.

We had a 10-minute storm here last night. The power was out for two hours for 850+ homes. While ComEd’s services around here are known for being kinda shoddy, it will be nothing but brownouts then blackouts if Chicago takes it over.

They can use the profit from the proposed Chicago ghetto casino to purchase ComED!
Also the extra income from the big area boost of the 0bama palace!

Hundreds of guaranteed democrat voters from weather death so it would be considered a great bounty for the ghoul party.

Would they get to run Commonwealth Edison's 11 nukes too? If so, that will be fun to watch from a good distance.

Indeed, the city of Chitcago should ask ComEd to take over running the city. At least ComEd is successful at it’s primary job of keeping the lights on, whereas Chicago is a total failure at it’s primary job of keeping it’s citizens safe.

I doubt that the NRC would allow that to happen. The hearings would be funny though.

This is so laughable! Chicago is the most corrupt city in the country, this should work out really well! (/heavy_sarcasm)
