Actually we get most of our outside power from Hydro-Quebec. I'm sure that WNY gets plenty of $$$ for supplying NYC with any small amount of electricity, unlike the unreturned tax dollars collected from us. But please, based on your outrage, do let us know if WNY plans on supplying that pittance for free. I'm sure that would inspire interest here. It might make the area more famous for that than what it is famous for now. ;)Originally Posted by KC2UGV
BTW:
But you know us New Yawk Eleeteests. LINK TO ABOVE.The average New Yorker consumes less than half of the electricity of someone who lives in San Francisco and nearly one-quarter the electricity consumed by someone who lives in Dallas. -- Wiki
There is also this set of facts. It puts to rest the not so factual allegations that you have made. Check out pages 12 through 14 and the nice picture which sez:
3.7 Gigawatts from Westchester (directly north of the city), 1 Gigawatt from New Jersey and 300 Megawatts from Long Island. The rest is generated internally. And since this is the latest information available on the web (2004), generation has increased inside the city to make it less dependent on outside sources since then.
If you have otherwise verifiable proof, please post it. Can't wait to get those billions of $$$ back from the state. Considering that this was decreed nearly a decade ago, I also hope to live long enough to see it spent here too. Nor can I wait to see the outrage of WNY for the monies NYC spends on their electricity.
