Rolling blackouts are a joke in our country
We have so many excess resources which we sell ...
This should never happen

Demand for power in places like California climb to a point where our own providers can't charge us any more than our contracts state, so they shut us down, rather than charge California more per KW, due to their contracts
It's all politics ....
What, you didn't know we sell our power to the US ?

Our fuel prices are hi 'cause they sell the product southwards and want to keep the prices up, yet we could be afforded prices about 2/3 what we pay now

Same thing happened in the 80's and 90's when companies like Canfor sold out to China
Our building material costs went through the roof, yet we had plants full of wood sitting and rotting

Greedy, greedy power and fuel companies
