Well, we all know that if you want modern society to come to a grinding halt you pull the electric power plug. Environmentalist just north of S.F. lead the anti-growth movement by using lack of new water as a method of precluding growth for years. So, it is not a real stretch to think that some environmentalists would want to use lack of electricity as a way of stopping growth.
I wonder how Davis is doing in the election polls among the environmentalist voters?
You say there is only one warning given by the Bond people.
Hmm!
What will the Sacramento Demoncrats do next then?
I would guess, stall till election time and then, unload the bad news on the populace(Is that a word?).
im-pact
v.t. 5) to drive or press closely or firmly into simething; pack in.
6) to fill up; congest; throng
7) to collide with; strike forcefully
v.i. 8) to have impact or make contact forefully
I don't know where you got this from. My foot thick 50 year old Webster's and 25 year old American Heritage have it as a noun and then as a trans verb meaning "to pack firmly together." Nothing in either supports how Reuters uses it.
Are those defs from a "modern" dictionary written by recent public schools grads?
