Reply to comment by Demitrius in What if we all just decided not to pay our February electricity bills? by WeakAndWeary

I know they can. But would they turn off power for tens of thousands of people? a) millions in lost revenue and b) how horrible would it look if they cut the power to thousands of homes?

It's one thing to do it to a hundred dead beats that won't pay. It's another to paralyze a whole state.

The idea is that we are the consumers and we should have the power (pun!).

I don't think they care about optics. It sucks.

Not lost revenue if people aren’t paying… kinda a flawed plan

Even if they shut off the entirety of the state, they’d still exist and still own their assets.

The state would likely have to come in and pay the bill for everyone, so you’d still be paying.
