A very good article by Greg Palast puts the blackout blame where it belongs. It's pretty obvious logic, really. You get a bunch of Republicans coming in, and you let the utilities write their own laws, and of *course* the utilities are going to say "We shouldn't have to spend any money to maintain transmission facilities." So that cost goes away for utilities, but hey, at least those electric bills start falling as a result, right?
Right?
And yeah, Clinton shares much of the blame for being too conservative toward the industry.
