My Comment: Why is no one saying the word ..... MONOPOLY.
Let's face it .... Hydro Quebec is shaping up as a cartel that controls the supply and price of North Eastern American electricity .... the only thing that makes this case unique is that this is a cartel of one. U.S. law is very blunt about this .... it is illegal. But how can U.S. law dictate to a foreign company that its actions are illegal .... especially on this case. I do not know how this can be done ... but I will (still) not be surprise to see court actions initiated in the near future.
