Evan,
>>If a governmental agency is able to produce power at a lower cost than private industry - more power to them (no pun intended). I'd bet that when someone posts an example if we were to do a little digging we'd find that they a) didn't pay taxes when private companies do (unfair competition right?) or the land they own doesn't pay taxes or they spread the actual expenses around to cover or mask the real costs.

You bet but lower wages and higer overhead more than make up for it. <g>

A man is no fool who gives up that which he cannot keep for that which he cannot lose.
Everything I don't understand must be easy!
The difficulty of any task is measured by the capacity of the agent performing the work.
