There are 4 in the state, which are interconnected to each other by a powerline, which then runs directly to Plattsburgh, NY where we buy the power directly from Canada Hyrdo (we be green!). There was opposition to the construction of this line 15 years ago, too from Luddites who think nothing of running 20 year old smoking wrecks of Volvos (held together with Nader and Dean bumperstickers) that get 15 mpg and who oppose windmills as they raise their marijuana crop with energy sucking halide lighting systems. Go figure. Anywho, our electric rate is 6/cents/kWhr night or day. Beat that, NYSEG. Roger T. www.commentator.vze.com PS: Hello to our 'friend' at Bing.
