Ya know what, when you have an oil company man for pres and vp, you aren't going to see any oversight.

Oh hell yeah, California had these "rolling blackouts" in 2001-2002 because of power plants having to be "maintained" and refitted. Electric rates shot throught the roof (good thing my area was covered by LA DWP which had its own system). Investigators in 2006 later discovered this was complete bullshit by the power companies.
This isn't far out shit, this actually happens--large corporations, when given the chance, will assrape the consumer.
