These power deals seem great....Jobs,Jobs,Jobs....Publicly owned electricity targeted at businesses....good paying jobs for America's working families.
The reason is the electric climate...like the tax climate is so unappealing in NY State, that taking the electricity of the many and selling it cheap to a few businesses or municipal systems is a way to mitigate that.
What about the masses of people....families...small businesses that pay the long price for juice ? We have created small enclaves of low price power using a system of production paid for by all of us. Good for those who had the good fortune or foresight to get a piece of the electric dole......
We need to be careful when the public's resources, be it money or electricity, is set aside to be divied up by Big Business and Big Labor......
It's just another way of thinking about these redistribution schemes sold as economic development.

Didn't AJR propose this? At least she said so during her campaign.
