Let me get this straight...

Apparently, Arizona is California's bitch... There was this article in the Republic about how Corporation Commission wants to build power transmission lines to California.

So, you might ask yourself what is the benefit to Arizona? As far as I can tell, there is zero upside for us. Our power costs could increase because increased demand for our power in California. They want to build part of the system through a protected wildlife area (bad).

I also cannot help but think about the pollution created in Arizona for power shipped to California. It would create some jobs and that is nice, but does anyone really believe that they want to do this to create jobs? I don't...

SCE wants to build it, not ACC.

People in metro Phx. should go to the mtg. Wed. May 30 and ask ACC to vote no.

Do you have more information on what is behind this? It is possible that they have a perfectly good reason for this... It just seems more likely that it is just another revenue stream at our expense. Thanks for the comment.
