Yepparoo. THAT really irks me as well. It's not like they don't have the money, and they haven't known this needed to be done. And... this is yet another fucking example of why we DON'T have a true capitalist system. HA!

While we're on the subject, another thing that totally pisses me off, is the electric company heads have actually come out and said, if Obama passes cap and trade, they will simply pass that cost on to their customers. WTF? They have known FOR YEARS this would eventually come if they didn't get their act together, but now they want more time? Are you fucking kidding me? grrrrrr
