Reply #6: I Fear This Could Be the Start of the Clampdown

[NashVegas]

Besides the possible strain on the grid as a potential bother, there is the idea of "the great leveler" being placed in the hands of the energy companies.

With the Telcos, you have relatively few people trying to organize against those companies trying to set US policy. The energy companies are a totally different matter, and I'd fear a motive towards free speech clampdown on behalf of the pipeline owners.
