Boycott backfires

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
I can't find the exact verbage; but evidently AZ's Commisioner of Power has responded to the boycott's in California.

It seems that San Francisco (or it could be LA) get around 25% of their electricity from power plants in AZ.

He's suggesting that since boycotts are coming from California, that maybe AZ should rethink who they sell their power to.

Looks like the feel-gooders brought a knife, to a gun fight.

LOL

Thanks Yurt.

I hope Pierce follows through with this.
We'll just sell our excess power to another State and then they can resell it to CA, for a much higher price.

I sure wouldn't want to force CA to have to accept anything from a State, that they feel so strongly about.
It's either that, or they can look like liars.

SO, what's it gonna be, all you AZ haters??
Please speak up and don't let the sound of crickets show your true nature.

I think it's hilarious. I assume that there are long-term contracts involved and that were Arizona power companies to attempt to cut off power they'd be slapped with an injunction PDQ.

The folks in LA should call bullshit.

Renegotiations occur, all the time, and I guess in your haze you failed to see where CA cities were looking on how to get out of contracts with AZ.

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander; so prepare to get goosed. :cof1:

if the other state BOYCOTTS them and cancel's their contracts....then the contract obligation obviously isn't important between states at this time...

if you're going to boycott a state and hurt them economically, then prepared to face a taste of your medicine and AZ should be allowed to rescind any contracts for this economic act of harm... that is basically economic warfare between states....the contracts won't hold

There is the other side of the coin and that is that AZ is in a money crunch right now.
Mabye we could renegotiate those contracts and just siphon a ton of cash from CA.
A couple of days of a rolling blackout, might just be what the need.
I mean; don't you love summer nights of 100+ degrees, with high humidity, and no way to turn a fan on, let alone the AC.

That's it CA, stick with those hypocritical moral feelings of yours. :good4u:

and I imagine that some ambitious and ingenious engineer can modify the grid so that power isn't cut off, but somehow severely restricted.

it's happened before. :good4u:
 
boycotting and breaking a contract are vastly differnt spurt and you know it.
Has cali not gotten the message since Enron ass raped them without a reach around?

they should instead just continue selling the power to CA and put up a nice big billboard on I5 stating.... 'your power, brought to you by the great state of AZ... don't like our laws... feel free to stop using our power'

Don't know about LA, Nigel, but down a little further toward the boarder in San Di Stupid, er San Diego, they are already crying and moaning. You see Arizona is calling for all people in Arizona to avoid traveling to San Di Stupid, er San Diego. They are especially calling upon all institutions in Arizona that might have a convention or other planned event in San Di Stupid, er San Diego, to cancell. It has already had tremendous effect. Cancellations in San Di Stupid, er San Diego, have increased by 15% to 20%. Good for San Di Stupid.

i never said they were the same poopspin...the letter even said he would urge then to renegotiate the contracts...but i wonder (not claim) if a boycott wherein LA rescinds their contracts or even if they don't, has any impact on current contracts....i wonder if there are boiler plate clauses for such things between different governments...and if there is not...isn't boycotting a form of economic warfare between two governments? it is entirely possible that the issue hasn't arisen in such a manner before...

Nigel, seeing as I am from around that area, I believe that you will see those people going more likely to Flagstaff or other places of higher elevation in Arizona and New Mexico. And, more importantly, it is the institutions and businesses in Arizona that book meetings and conventions in San Di Stupid, er San Diego, that is having the most effect. And the officials in San Di Stupid, er San Diego, are already crying and moaning. For your information, I live near Flagstaff, and my wife and I (and three other couples) have cancelled cruises that go round trip out of San Di Stupid, er San Diego. We changed to cruises out of Galveston. We have taken twenty or so cruises out of San Di Stupid, er San Diego, but no more. I suppose that the cruise ship companies may not be too happy with San Di Stupie, er San Diego.

I heard a report that said that several States that support AZ's law suggested that maybe AZ and them could work out some kind of reciprical conventions.
