Is it even possible to cut off the power JUST to LA from Arizona?

paging Emfuser!
 
9. California threatens to boycot Arizona over immigration law
8. Arizona passes new immigration law
7. Sarah Palin

which way to the TREND
 
the reality is, the boycott, or anything like that will matter little in terms of getting the law changed. the best way to change the law is through the courts.
 
That fucking state lives in constant debt. It's worse than that woman that thinks Obama will pay for her gas.
 
true.. i was forgetting they havent had free tv's and electronics since the early 90's they are way overdue for free flat screens
 
Start by thinking more. One thing you could try considering is how many presidents have never lied.
 
They ought to cut it off right now during the Lakers game. That would be more than amusing.
 
I fucking hope AZ flips the switch. Let's see how LA likes dealing with illegals in the dark!
 
and while everyone up to and including Obama is talking alot of shit about "taking it to the courts" the truth is, no one will because everyone knows it's legal and constitutional.

Course I would LOOOOOVE to see them do it.
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
General Manager's Statement Regarding
LADWP Power Generation Assets in Arizona


"I want to make clear that we support the City position regarding the recent law enacted in Arizona and the resolution adopted by the Los Angeles City Council.

On any given day, we receive 20 – 25% of our power from two power plants located in Arizona: Navajo, a coal-fired plant, and Palo Verde, a nuclear plant.

We are part owner of both power plants, which are generating assets of the Department. As such, nothing in the City’s resolution is inconsistent with our continuing to receive power from those LADWP-owned assets.

I might add that, as the City’s Job Czar, I certainly would welcome any conventions or meetings that were going to be held in Arizona to come to Los Angeles. We have fantastic facilities and incomparable weather and we’d welcome them to the City of Angels."

- Austin Beutner, General Manager, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
 
They can cut off the power to a specific apartment.

I'm pretty sure they can figure out a way to just cut off the entire city.

It's very easy to direct electrical flow. See Enron.
