The Los Angeles City Council voted to boycott the state of Arizona over its new immigration-enforcement law, and now the Arizona Corporation Commission has responded. Gary Pierce, one of the commissioners chosen in state-wide elections to the utility regulation panel, notes that Los Angeles gets about 25% of its power from Arizona producers. If the City of Angels really wants a boycott, Pierce offers his services to help, as he explains in a letter to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and copied to Hot Air:

Excellent
Maybe all this should be staged in a horse corral in some south-eastern AZ city?
Well economically, it makes sense for AZ. I mean, if Los Angeles wants to hurt AZ in the pocket book, then AZ needs to make up the difference somehow. I am sure there are states that would like some extra electricity at a cut rate price.
Aha .. looks like Mr Pierce read my FR post from a couple of weeks ago. I suggested we turn off the lines from the Palo Verde reactor that feed power to SoCal.
Ping!
Unintended Consequences, as someone else has suggested?
I wondered how long it would take for AZ to see the light and respond to the LA a-holes. California = typical libs who have no ability for critical or logical thought. A thinking person/entity would go one step beyond boycotting Arizona and wonder, “Is there any way this action could affect us in a negative way?”
I am all for it.
Anything that makes the arrogant SOB’s in LA, who voted for this boycott, surfer great pain is fine by me. Let's see how Villaraigosa deals with power cuts in LA and an angry mob of irate citizens outside his door.
A poster on Hot Air suggests that LA should require the illegals there to peddle treadmills to create energy for the area. Like what Joe Arpaio is doing in the slammer — the inmates have to peddle for an hour to generate the energy to watch TV for an hour.
“peddle treadmills”
peddle = pedal :(
Bawahahaha Liberals are OH SO high and mighty, so holier than THOU!!! Right up until their BS means their tanning booths don’t work and they have no AC.... HAHA. Bunch of spoiled brats looking for handouts is what they are.
This is what the “Great Uniter” has done to us. Even cities now are at war with each other. Truly the era of Hope and Change.
TOUCHE Villar................
Yup.
0bama the Marxist devil, deliberately set out to exploit the Arizona immigration law to stir up as much racial rancor and hatred as he could, with every speech that he made after the law was passed, all in an attempt to stir up Latino voters(both legal and illegal), to turn out to vote for Democrats in November.
What he forgets is that non-Latino voters are even more angry about illegal immigration that ever, and are far more energized than the Democrats to vote this November, and that there are vastly more non-Latino voters than there are Latino voters. He is going to find all that out soon enough come November.
My admiration for AZ grows each day. I will go out of my way to support the state through any purchases I can make from businesses headquartered in AZ.
Also, it’s great to see the left wing empowered by Mr. Hope and Change in the White House, in effect declaring war through economic boycott on AZ thanks to the “progressive/multiculty/diversity is our strength” politics of LaRaza/Mecha elected officials in L.A. Their goals are clear. Thank God AZ is fighting back.
Surely you jest!
Whoo hoo!!!! GO ARIZONA!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!
Good point. What LA is doing to Arizona is economic warfare. Arizona needs to calculate the lost revenue and add it to LA’s electric bill.
Hey California, remember the rolling blackouts a couple of years ago? AZ may just have a serious problem with their electrical capacity during the heat of the summer.
Hate when that happens.
