"force down the throats" a federal policy

Not your wallets you should hold onto......

I would like to see the tariffs on interstate transmission lines rise to the point where it would force states like California and New York build their own power plants rather than import electricity from the midwest or southwest.

That way, companies would be able to make some money building transmission lines for the states that choose to be dependent upon others for their needs, and low-cost energy areas would be protected from having all their power sold off to far-away places.

This is a real concern, when you look at what happened to the Pacific Northwest over the last few years. They sold off all their power to California and left local users twisting in the wind. All the aluminum plants shut down and Boeing is not far behind.

They don't call them tariffs for nothing...
