That was probably the one in California, which is being caused by strange state |
| 13 |
(not national) bureaucratic regulations. The one in New Mexico was apparently |
| 14 |
caused by a couple of blown transformers. |

However, all the power problems in California have had the unpleasant effect of |
| 17 |
raising my utility bills (natural gas and electricity) to $300/month :((((((((( |
| 18 |
That's what happens when California buys tons of electricity and gas from other |
| 19 |
states -- the price goes crazy. |

Be careful when your state/country starts regulating the utilities... a few |
| 22 |
stupid laws can create major problems. |
