"...Verizon of Pennsylvania President James O'Rourke says HB 1669 "jeopardizes the capital budgets of the very companies that are building advanced telecom networks."
This article started off with the revelation that the state of Pennsylvania forgave a 2.1 billion dollar advance and this jerkoff is complaining about capital investment??!!
This country desperately needs campaign finance reform to keep industry money out of politics. Witness the recent blackout and the complete lack of intelligence, planning, accountability or intestinal fortitude to deal with upgrading the system on the part of the energy industry. |

I couldn't agree more. When we are talking about billions of dollars, I can't see how they have an excuse. Puh-leeese.
With regards to the blackout problem, what everyone keeps missing is the other end of the equation: conservation.
While politically unpopular as we get what we want in terms of consumption, it would be prudent to look at that side of things and maybe learn to cut back in some small way, any way. |
