2) "New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie moved to increase supplies of gasoline and diesel by waiving requirements that make it harder for stations to buy from out-of-state suppliers. The waiver will be in place until Nov. 7."

Sheesh.
If only these 'temporary' waivers would be as temporary as Nixon closing the gold window.
DeleteConEd doesn't have a monopoly on power production or retail contracting. They have a monopoly on power distribution. The NYISO has been a wholesale and retail choice market since 2000.
ReplyDeleteEnd power delivery monopolies and DO NOT guarantee their pensions through the federal pension guarantee program.
yea anonymous 4:57 is correct. Con ed only has a monopoly on power distribution. They dont own any generators (for the most part). The compaines that own the generators put a bid into Con ed and the lowest price gets picked (this is over simplified of course there are whole bunch of crazy rules). However i use to work as engineer at con ed. They all sat around and did nothing. I mean literately nothing for 8 hours straight. i lasted about 6 months before i quit. it was horrible.
