No I realize that Glenn Beck is not posing in this thread. It was your post #363 which tried to dismiss my argument as kook conspiracy. Now you're trying to change your argument and say it occurs all the time. Well which is it?
It is a kook conspiracy to think that a utility turning off service during an emergency is doing something they do not already have authority to do. Its the same thing I have been saying.
.Discontinuing service is one thing (and no, a utility can't discontinue at-will unless your contract specifies such, non of mine do), a legal mandate to place a device in your home to control that service is another. It's the difference between your car insurance choosing to drop you and your car insurance installing a tracking device which can override your control of the vehicle. The DP mod team can choose to ban you, but not place a program inside your PC override your use of that PC
Where did you get the "at-will" part? The language in the proposed regulations you linked, which did not pass as I understand it, stated "during an emergency," which is the same authority they have had since before you were born.
