Incredible reporting. How very kind of these controllers to decide for the people what must be done - for the greater good, of course. Sounds like Marxist-Bolshevik economic terrorism. We all know what happens when means of production is manipulated.

No doubt it would be much cheaper to subsidize individual residential back-up sources. But money is no object when unaccountable planners can just add it to the taxes. Has anyone done the math on this yet, @iceagefarmer?
