Balking at the high price of coal that fuels much of China’s electricity grid, the nation’s state-owned utility companies are defying government economic planners by deliberately reducing the amount of electricity they produce.
Anyone,
In whose best interest is it to govern down, to slow down, to decrease, or to limit the production of power?
Know, please, Joe's Law.
Power produced into oversupply reduces the price of power while purchasing power increases (deflation, or more bang for the buck) because power reduces the cost of production.
Everybody wins when the power supply reaches abundance. Who wins when the power supply is deliberately throttled down to a state of scarcity?
There is only one logical answer to the question that asks who wins, in whose best interest, is power governed down, slowed down, to a level of scarcity, on purpose? This happens to also be the same answer as the question that asks who profits from aggressive wars for profit? The evidence happens to follow the same path to the same source.
A monopoly producer has a vested interest in throttling down the supply of power to a level of scarcity so as to increase the price of power to whatever the monopoly market will bear, and if people must have power to survive, which they must, then people will pay any price, or suffer, or die.
If competition exists: the competitor who throttles down power, below demand, so as to jack up the price, will lose the market share that competitor had won, once, as the customers choose to buy power from the supplier who does not govern down the power supply to a level of scarcity. Competition does not force a monopoly power into existence, the opposite is true: competition ends monopoly power.
Look at the link at the top of the page. Know the facts. Don't believe the lies. Lies are produced for reasons. Lies do not occur by accident. You are targeted. You will be exploited. Stop being a victim. Know the truth instead.
The utilities’ go-slow tactics include curtailing the planned expansion and construction of power plants, and running plants for fewer hours a day. And in a notable act of passive defiance, the power companies have scheduled an unusually large number of plants to close for maintenance this summer — right when air-conditioning season will reach its peak.
A go-slow tactic can't work in a free market, go-slow tactics can't work to the benefit of the competitor who willfully reduces production below demand so as to increase the price as a result of enforced scarcity, not in a free market, because another competitor, absent the enforced monopoly which cannot enforce a state of scarcity, competitively fills in the demand with increased production as the go-slow tactic is tried, and the go-slow tactic fails, as the go-slow tactic is attempted by the failing competitor.
Why is what I am reporting news to anyone? Who has been duped? Raise your hand.
If you, the reader, can't see this, then that doesn't mean that you are right, and accurate, and reasonable, if you conclude that Joe Kelley is wrong, because you say so, and the official journalist who wrote the article above is right - just because you say so. Children also cover their eyes to make themselves invisible, it doesn't work, reality doesn't work that childish way.
I can give you a very good example of a similar situation here in California. For a time that spans over a decade I've been working toward the power producing business, running into difficulties, and while working on this path one difficulty has been a law that protects the monopoly electric power companies, or the power cartel here in California, whereby any home power, by any home owner, sent into The Grid is consumed by other people, and paid for by other people, but the money went to the monopoly power companies, and the money didn't go to the home owner who produced excess power into The Grid. That law has just changed. Now anyone, as far as I know at this time, can double their investment in Solar Panels, or Wind Power Generators, or anything under the sun that hooks up to The Grid, and reap handsome rewards for that larger investment, such as a doubling of investment to be willfully twice the power the investor needs to consume his, or her, self. The single investment is to use money to begin making the required electricity at home, just enough Solar Panels to meet the home demand for electricity, and the doubling of the single investment is to produce a steady income, actual checks in the mail, money to be cashed, or money to be deposited into a savings account, or money to be invested, each month, flowing from the consumers of the electricity that you produce, then flowing to the no-longer-monopoly power company. and then those payments for the surplus electricity you produce, at home, is sent as a check printed by the power company, to you, because you produced the power that was consumed by the consumer.
That is news. I offer you news. You prefer something else? What do you prefer? If there is a demand for lies, what will be produced?
In the past the power companies kept any power you made in excess of the power you consumed, and they sell your power. Now, as far as I know so far, if you produce more power than you consume, the power company send you a check in the mail for that additional power they sell for you. I can go into great detail about how this type of thing bridges the gap between capitalist and socialist dogma, but that is another story.
Back to the report about China:
This time, the impasse between government and industry is not the only cause of China’s electricity shortages. Surging electricity demand is also a factor.
Who runs whatever power is the power that enforces a monopoly? That question must be answered accurately, if the idea is to know anything about this topic. What stops every single person on the planet from borrowing enough credit (their own good faith and credit = borrowing from themselves) to buy enough solar panels to produce twice as much power as they alone can ever use, and then sell the excess power so as to generate an income, to pay back the loan, with a modest interest charged to the borrower and sent to the loan producers?
You don't know the answer. You have never even heard the question. The knee jerk reaction is to cry, scream, or shout, no, just no, first, then more that no, as you recover control of your own mind. No, Joe, you are stupid for asking such an asinine question, stupid Joe. Stupid, stupid, Joe. You are so, incredibly, stupid, Joe. Who do yo think you are, Joe?
The point is: I have nothing whatsoever to do with the question, and the knee jerk reaction measures your level of brain-washing. Either you ask, and then answer, the question, or you are programmed to ignore it, your behavior has be so modified as to be conditioned to respond to such questions with immediate focus of attention upon the messenger, going right past the message, and targeting the messenger instead of focusing on the message. If the shoe fits, you wear the shoe, cause it fits, not because I have reported go you that you are wearing the shoe. I have nothing to do with message. The message is the message, I am just me.
If modern culture was the same culture as past culture in America, then Paul Revere would have been stoned to death, verbally, for the audacious crime of having rode through town yelling "The British are coming!". Stupid Paul.
What power stops anyone from borrowing from their own good faith and credit so as to begin producing the electric power they need at home and doubling that investment so as to begin generating an income at home, so as to pay off the loan, and pay off a modest rate of interest that is sent back to the people who produce and maintain the loan account?
Ignore that question. Do as you are trained to do, focus on me, target me, blame me, read from the script, and obey. Measure the problem, define the problem, yourself, by blaming me.
Anyone anywhere on the planet Earth is now a potential competitor in the power producing industry - if you can see this happening - absent the force that stops this from happening. What stops the supply of power from meeting the demand for power anywhere on Earth? You can ignore the question, and you can focus your attention on the messenger instead, if that is what you allow yourself to do, by some force of external will power. What happened to your own power of will? You were born with one, what happened to it?
The question isn't complex. The question is simple. The answer is simple. The information that is available to answer the question is abundant.
What is OPEC?
What stops the supply of power from reaching the demand for power anywhere on Earth?
What is The Dollar Hegemony?
What is Purchasing Power?
Can you get as much Purchasing Power as you demand? What stops you from getting as much Purchasing Power as you demand?
I'll return to the report on China (filled with official lies, half-truths, and confused, and irrational, viewpoints):
In Yiyang, a town of 360,000 in south-central China, electricity shortages are so severe this spring that many homes and businesses receive power only one day in three. Even gasoline stations in this region are silent more days than not, because the pumps lack electricity.
One of the things I write about, along the lines of my on-line presidential campaign, is the written documentation of two specific legal financial instruments, whereby these two things are meant to compete with, and dominate, the world reserve currency market, to take over as the dominate world reserve currency, in a very short time, and without possibility of usurpation, without ever being challenged effectively by any other monetary competitor, because these two products would be, for the foreseeable future, the highest quality money, at the lowest possible cost, and I'm not selling snake oil. I am reporting the facts. Competition in money markets will force money higher in quality and lower in cost, and my product 1 and product 2 offering illustrates one form that money could move toward, to illustrate the point that competition will force money higher in quality and lower in cost, once monopoly is no longer the power in forced.
You can see the facts too. Can you see past the lies?
In Yiyang, a town of 360,000 in south-central China, electricity shortages are so severe this spring that many homes and businesses receive power only one day in three. Even gasoline stations in this region are silent more days than not, because the pumps lack electricity.
If you have read the article linked at the top of the page, and if you have arrived at the quote just quoted above, and you are at a level of understanding at this point, then please consider employing the concept of these two new legal financial products offered to anyone on the planet, while your conscious attention is focused upon this specific power struggle.
Product 1 offers anyone who does not have a history of bad credit, or anyone with a history of good credit, a home and/or business property mortgage at no interest charged to the borrower. Effectively, measurably, and accurately, product 1 credits people who deserve credit, which cannot be argued against, not without resort to deceit, not without resort to threats of violence, and not without resort to use of violence as a means of discrediting the idea, and the actions, on this path.
Credit those who earn credit. In whose interest is it not to do so?
Product one allows those who earn credit to use their earned credit to buy, specifically, a loan, at no interest, for a new home, or a loan to buy off an existing loan (at high interest), or a new business property, at no interest charged to the borrower, who borrows from his, or her, own good faith and credit, that he, or she, earns him, or her, self.
The two product idea stems from Joe's Law. Joe's Law is my earnings to date, in the form of one sentence.
Why are those who earn credit not getting the credit they deserve?
Why is power governed down to a state of scarcity? What is stopping the production of power from meeting the demand for power?
Product one is my product of willful power used in the work of answering specific questions; questions that are typically left unanswered, because the specialists who are supposed to be answering these questions just so happen to be the same people who are willfully causing power to be governed down to a state of scarcity, because they profit by that willful act, and they profit at the expense of the powerless.
Product 1 is purchased by one person in China, then two, then three, and Product 1 is not purchased by anyone in America, because product 1 is against the law in America; what happens? If you don't like the answer, then reverse the question.
Product 1 is purchased by half the population in America.
Product 1 is against the law in China.
What happens?
Half the population of America now has their monthly mortgage payments on their homes and on their business properties cut in half. Each month half the population of America has roughly 500 units of more money each month, Power to Purchase, to spend, to invest, or to save, compared to the case of reality whereby product 1 is against the law, the way thing are now.
What happens to the power supply in America? The entire tax paying population in America, not the big corporations, they don't pay taxes, the actual honest productive tax paying people in America, send their surplus power to the monopoly bank cartel, in the form of interest payments, so as to have that money spent buying politicians to look the other way while financial fraud is perpetrated, and then, when financial fraud injures the victims, get this clear in your head, the money you send, is then spent on rewarding the criminals with trillion dollar bail outs, as a reward for injuring you.
That is the true story of how things work in America. Measure that reality. Things can get worse. If China takes over as The World Reserve Currency Monopoly Power, how will that change be measured by you? When power is even more scarce in America, more scarce in America than it is in China, including clean air power, will you listen then, will you be powerful enough to do anything about it then?
Product 2 is a 1 percent interest loan offered to anyone on the planet, and this can easily be done electronically, through an effective, competitive, on-line web based, encrypted, backed-up, and well maintained, and well scrutinized, system of accurate accounting, and done by way of license, and done competitively, by competing franchises, new franchises, or existing franchises, like E-Bay, Skype, Amazon, Microsoft, or even any open source competitor, whereby the accounting franchises maintain their own market share competitively. The accounting franchises offer product 1, and product 2, to customers, as specified, according to the specifications of product 1, and product 2, and anyone, anywhere, can buy product 1, or product 2, on-line, and begin employing their own power of credit, that they earn.
Product 2 charges 1 percent interest so as to make a profit for the accounting franchises, so as to cover the cost of accounting, as the franchises account for the flow of power realized in the production and use of product 1 and product 2, as time goes by.
Product 2, according to specifications, are loans sold and then used in the effort to make more power, such as a loan that is used to buy Solar Panels, or Electric Cars, or Modular Vertical Farming Units, or Wind Mills, to name a few possible power producers that could be specified on product 2 loans. The specifications that must be met are calculations that confirm a net increase in power over and above the power spent on the thing purchased. The Solar Panel exemplifies the concept for product 2.
But first a borrower may borrow product 1, and cut his, or her, monthly mortgage payment in half. A borrower then has savings each month, or potential investment power each month, or more money to spend each month, thereby creating demand for other people to produce the new things demanded as a result of Product 1 savings.
That is product 1 alone.
Product 2 pays for itself, even without product 1.
Product 2, in the exemplary case of the Solar Panel, allows the purchaser to borrow from his potential income increase realized by the thing purchased with Product 2; because product 2, by design, by specification, produces power, or nets a measured savings.
The Product 2 borrower has, for example, a 100 dollar monthly electric bill, a historically accurate average monthly payment of money sent, monthly, to the central power monopoly company, which is known, a known cost, a measured cost average, and that can be cut down by 10% according to known measures today.
100 dollars per month on average, can be cut down by 10% today, by investing in Solar Panels, and that savings is gaining in economic value for many reasons, easily moving to 15% savings, and more, and more savings.
Product 2 is then used to buy twice as much power production, an equivalent to 200 dollars per month of electricity to be produced by enough Solar Panels purchased. The Product 2 loan, done this way (but not necessarily done this way), amounts to a lower monthly cost of electricity, less per month paid by the home owner, to pay the loan, 180 dollars per month to pay off the loan, and an income stream of 100 dollars per month, paid to you from The Grid, to spend, or to invest, or to save.
You borrow enough to buy 200 dollars worth of electric production monthly, save 10% on each 100 dollars worth of electricity produced, a 180 dollar a month loan payment, you no longer pay 100 dollars a month in electricity, and you receive 100 dollars worth of cash for the 100 dollars a month of electricity you send into The Grid. 180 dollar per month loan payment, you get 100 dollar per month worth of electricity, and you get a 100 dollar check each month.
Before investment you spend 100 dollars for 100 dollars worth of power sold on The Grid.
After investment you have to pay 180 (an amount that is a rough estimate based upon actual offers by companies who sell you Solar Panels and guarantee a lower electric bill as you pay off the loan for the Solar Panels) per month while you get 100 dollars worth of electricity; 180 minus 100 equals 80. So you pay 80 per month instead of 100 per month for electricity. Cutting the investment in half will reduce your savings down to 10 dollars per month. Investing 4 times as much as you use at home increases your income to 40 dollars per month. It takes money to make money, as the saying goes.
If one month you use less electricity, you get a bigger check that month. You use more electricity, you get less electricity per month. Get this concept in your mind, it is important, it is significant. Get it. If you don't get it, ask questions. Do the research. Know the facts. Electric power is power, money is power or it isn't money.
Product 2 can be used to buy a car too. When your old car wears out, you need a new one, or you want to start a competitive taxi or delivery business, you buy electric vehicles, you have to pay back the loan, at 1 percent interest, just like you have to pay back the loan for any car purchase, now your interest rate is 1 percent, not 5, not 10, but your new electric car costs you about 80% less in fuel costs, and you make the fuel at home, if you have invested in Solar Panels at home, and/or, at your business property. If you now spend 100 dollars a month on gas, the petroleum stuff, you now spend 18 dollars on electric power for transportation; you add savings to savings. If you started a competitive taxi, or delivery business, you can compete with anyone who also goes into the electric transportation business, as electric converted businesses compete against the petroleum powered competitors who will be paying more than 80% more for transportation fuel; if petroleum fuel prices stay as low as they are, and at 80% more costly compared to electric power prices, per mile. Petroleum prices have to fall significantly before they can compete with electric power prices.
Will oil prices fall?
Do you understand this, or, instead, does this go right over your head, or do you suffer from the brainwashing, and are you jerking your knee, are you targeting the messenger, instead of focusing your attention on the facts?
How about adding up Product 1 and Product 2 as the wave sweeps America and all those who buy into a higher quality and lower cost money system do the following average estimate of savings:
1. $500 dollars saved on home mortgage interest payments per month.
2. $1000 dollars saved on business property mortgage interest payments per month
3. $40 dollars saved, or checks in the mail from The Grid, on Solar Panel (or other) electric power producers at home and work. (farms and rural area wind mills are already going up in California)
4. $80 dollars saved on transportation fuel for those who must upgrade a car anyway, or those who can't afford not to cut down on their petroleum expenses, for whatever reason dreamed up.
$1,620 per month for a number of Americans who decide to make use of 2 competitive legal financial products that merely illustrate what can happen when competition in legal money is no longer against the law (criminal law).
What if the number of people, who decide not to pay usury, and decide not to pay for oil, etc, is One Hundred Million people out of the total population in American, which is roughly Three Hundred Million people?
Just add the number of zeros and arrive at the amount of power that remains in the hands of the productive American population, and arrive at the power that no longer flows into the pyramid scheme that sucks the life blood out of the American Dream.
1620
100,000,000
162,000,000,000
What if China offers Chinese honest productive people those products; while America continues to outlaw legal money competition? At 1.3 billion, a third of which is roughly Four Hundred Million.
162 x 4 = 648
Same number of zeros:
648,000,000,000
Do you have that understood? That is power, per month, kept by the honest productive people, instead of that same measure of power flowing from the honest productive people flowing to the legal criminals who run their legal money monopolies in America compared, competitively, to the power stolen in China, per month.
America:
100,000,000 people each, realizing 1,620 dollars per month savings, or production, to be spent, invested, or saved, each month.
China:
400,000,000 people each, realizing as much power per month, each, savings, or production, to be spent, invested, or saved, each month.
Combined, American, and Chinese, productive people potentially save more, if they cooperated, trade, and do so equitably.
Exploited, American, and Chinese, productive people, by a few powerful legal criminals is what is, that is what is now happening, and it is happening by the rough measure I illustrate with product 1 and product 2.
What happens if America legalizes monetary competition while China remains exploited by legal monetary monopoly, to the tune of the measure I offer with product 1 and product 2?
$162,000,000,000 per month saved/earned/produced in America while China remains exploited? How long before America regain full economic dominance, peaceful, productive, and liberated economic dominance compared to the exploited competition?
What happens if China is liberated to that very possible (if not likely) tune offered with the reasonably understandable product 1 and product 2 illustration?
$648,000,000,000 per month commanded by the honest productive people in China, while America remains exploited by the legal power monopolies; The Federal Reserve people in particular?
Product 1 and Product 2 illustrate that which is against the law now. Competition is against the law in China. Competition is against the law in America. If Product 1, and Product 2, were lawful products in America and not allowed in China, what do you think will happen?
I know what will happen. You may be, reasonably, skeptical. Use your own brain.
Returning to the article on China:
To accommodate businesses that do use diesel back-ups, China last week banned exports of diesel fuel to conserve scarce supplies.
Please use your own brain. Stop reading from the script. The above is false, it is lies, it is parroting business as usual, it is ignorant if not willfully deceitful.
Within Product 2 is the illustrated example of what can happen when competition is legal, and when monopoly is no longer enforced. A home owner can buy a Modular Home Vertical Farming Unit, or two, or three, and begin producing algae based diesel fuel, at home, and sell that power because that power is in demand now. The same investment can then be used to make algae based gasoline, for home use, or for sale, if gasoline is in demand. The same investment can be used, reconfigured, to make food, for home use, or for sale. One Modular Unit can be a home food supplier, and another can be a for sale, for profit, food producer, or algae based diesel fuel home use, and profit making venture, or gasoline.
What stops the production of power from meeting the demand for power? If the question is willfully ignored, then willful ignorance is the answer to the question. If you don't ask, what does that confess? If you then blame me, what does that confess to you? I know what it confesses to me, I've been on this road for decades.
Back to the article; on China.
Prices of Chinese exports are already up 2.8 percent in the last 12 months, after years of gradual decline that helped restrain inflation in the United States.
Joe's Law cuts through all that bull. Inflation is America is a direct result of monopoly power used in America to cut down the production of power in America. There are many examples, the law that forbids home owners from profiting from home produced electric power is one example. Blaming inflation, falsely, or half-true, on rising prices in China, resulting from scarce supplies of electric power in China, misses the mark.
Power (electric power in China or America) produced to exceed the demand will reduce the price (or failure to even meet the demand will increase the price) of power, while purchasing power increases.
I stop that sentence above at that point. You will have to figure this out yourself. Joe's Law is clear. Your mind may not be clear.
When purchasing increases the increase in purchasing power can be called deflation; because each unit of money buys more; it deflates. Why are things made complex?
Know the difference between increases and decreases in the power to purchase. If your money buys more today, compared to yesterday, your money is deflating, and the term "inflation" is meant to be confusing, because confusion is a state of powerlessness. Those who know why things are made to be confusing, on purpose, for profit, are not confused. Victims are confused, on purpose, for profit.
Back to the report; on China:
If Beijing and the utilities can resolve their differences, China plans to build even more coal-powered plants. Doing so would produce another big surge in emissions of greenhouse gases, of which China is already the world’s largest emitter.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a city with a brown haze covering it is a health hazard for the people breathing in brown air. It also doesn't take a genius to figure out that many people, half the population as a rough average, making algae in their back yards, can provide all the power needed for the themselves, and sell extra power to the other half of the population. Do you know that the fuel used in the production of Algae is CO2?
If the supposed leaders of the supposed free world suddenly suffered a fit of moral conscience, or conscious accurate awareness, so long as the story line here is fantasy, and those leaders declared war on powerlessness, and they ordered, as they are apt to do, the immediate production, at home, of algae based fuel, to demand that half the population immediately commence the production of algae based fuel at home, to produce more that twice each home owners own needs for fuel, power, so as to have more than enough power for everyone, how much CO2 would that war on powerlessness consume, and what do you think would be the waste product?
Algae consumes CO2 and Algae, as far as I know, produces, as a waste product, oxygen.
So the leaders of the free world declare war on powerlessness and they order half the population to begin producing algae fuel and make fuel too abundant, so abundant that the price of power is at the same price as clean oxygen, and a byproduct of that decision is a shrinking supply of CO2, and an expanding supply of clean oxygen world wide.
And, unfortunately for some, the petroleum based oil business shrinks down to the size of, say, the whale oil business, a historical footnote. Note that I don't call the petroleum business by the false name Fossil Fuel. That is another story.
Back to the report; on China.
“Only coal can provide new capacity in the time and scale needed,” said David Fridley, a China energy expert at the University of California, Berkeley.
A monopoly is, by definition, the absence of competition. By whatever force, or power, that competition is forced out, the absence of competition remains to be the definition of monopoly, like cold is the absence of heat. Know this, please.
If America can declare war on both German and Japan, and in a few years time the honest productive workers, and the misguided soldiers, win those wars, why can't Americans declare war on powerlessness, and in a few years Americans win that war?
Do you want the truth? The answer is easy to see. America first has to declare war on falsehood, and overnight Americans can win that battle. This is not news.

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
Back to the report on China:
The idea of recalcitrant utilities balking at Beijing’s dictates might seem to contradict the popular perception of China’s government-guided economy. But while the electric utilities are majority-owned by the government, they are also profit-motivated companies accountable to the other holders of their publicly traded stock. So the power companies’ incentives are not necessarily aligned with those of central planners in Beijing.
The angle of view being reported is such that the power struggle is honest, and the power struggle is a known problem, and the power struggle involves honest people working hard to solve the known problem, and the angle of view suggests that the problem is very difficult to solve, and the angle of view suggests that mistakes will be made, and the angel of view suggests that the problem will be solved, if it can be solved, some day.
That is a pure fantasy. All anyone has to do, if anyone wants to expose the truth, is a simple decision, followed by willful action, along many possible paths. You have to decide that you want to know the truth. Then you have to willfully employ your power toward achieving that goal. You can follow many paths, and one path you can choose to follow is a path offered to you by someone, like me, who has been on this path for decades.
I offer one curious acronym: CAFR
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&pq=cafr&xhr=t&q=cafr+exposed+walter+burien&cp=13&pf=p&sclient=psy&source=hp&aq=0v&aqi=&aql=&oq=cafr+exposed+&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=e4d813b43c7d221c&biw=1920&bih=937
Choose the path, go down the path, failure to do so will be a state of powerlessness.
They are criminals, they commit crimes, they are not solving problems, they are problems, they do not provide solutions, they cause the problems. Know it, or remain powerless.
It is possible, but certainly not known by me, that the Chinese Communist Government leaders are working to solve their powerless problem. Suppose that is true. What happens if the Chinese Communist Government leaders solve their problem of losing power with the solution of empowering billions of Chinese tax payers, which is the source of power flowing to the Chinese Government leaders? Do you think that the Chinese Communist Government leaders are concerned enough to know that billions of Chinese tax payers may become too powerful, and powerful enough to over power the Chinese Communist Government leaders?
Did you ask yourself the following question:
Who wins when the power supply is deliberately throttled down to a state of scarcity?
That is the question I chose to begin this offering to you.
The leadership at the top of OPEC, or Mobile, or Halliburton, or Wall Street, or U.S.A. Inc. (LLC), or China, have more in common with each other than they have with any honest productive person on the question of power.
Who has a vested interest in making sure that power remains scarce, and therefore who has a vested interest in making sure that there is no competition?
Power produced into oversupply reduces the price of power while purchasing power increases because power reduces the cost of production.
More power is better for everyone except people who choose crime as a method of earning a living. You may have to look in the mirror. You may not actually want to know the truth, and that confesses something significant.
But Chinese regulators have let electricity prices climb only 2.5 percent this spring. Residential users in China’s cities pay 8.2 cents a kilowatt-hour. That compares to a national average of 11 cents in the United States and 15 cents in the heavily urban mid-Atlantic region. Chinese industrial users in cities are supposed to pay 12 cents a kilowatt-hour, although politically connected businesses receive discounts; the average industrial rate in the United States is 7 cents, and 9 cents in the mid-Atlantic region.
Note the ease with which the reporter accomplishes the difficult task of converting the disparity between measures of power between the "United States" and China. How is that accomplished? Do you find the quote above to be an accurate report of reality? What is the formula used in that report by which the cost of power is known in the "United States" compared to the cost of power in China?
This is significant information, and if it is accurate information, then it is significantly useful information.
The reporter uses the word cents. Chinese people do not use cents. Chinese people use a money that is an exclusive legal monopoly in China. The use of U.S.A. Inc. (LLC) money, or The Federal Reserve money, to be more accurate, as the money by which Chinese power costs will be measured is an obvious choice, since the report is in English, and the report is obviously targeting people in America, or "The West", and therefore people in "The West" will understand the value of a cent.
America power costs about 12 cents per Kilowatt/hour. If you are following this, having read the report on China, and you are reading my comments, then you are now being directly involved in the same process by which I formed Joe's Law. Power is power, or it isn't power. Money is: The Power to Purchase, or it isn't money. The measure of money is the measure of how powerful it is, and the same is true of electric power. Electric power is constant power, measurable as a watt, a watt does not increase value (deflate), and a watt does not decrease value (inflate). No politician on Earth can change the value of a watt.
American power costs about 12 cents per Kilowatt/hour.
Chinese power costs about 10 cents per Kilowatt/hour.
I am offering the above statements as an illustration, not as a factual account of the rough average of actual price of electricity. The illustration intends to clue the reader in on the significance of this measure of power. Note how the article does not actually report anything of use in this goal of knowing the relative price of power between America and China.
I am offering a guess, and my guess is that Chinese power is priced less than American power, and I do so not suggesting that my guess is true, only suggesting that starting point so as to proceed with the significance of that measure - if it is true.
If it is true that power is prices less in China compared to the higher price for power in America, if that is true, then, China is more competitive. That is a significant fact, if it is true. If, on the other hand, it is not true, then America is more competitive. If you do not understand that, then you can, and you may be empowered in knowing the truth of that understanding - once you understand it.
Make it personal. By making it personal, you can understand it. If America is more powerful, it is more competitive, so, naturally, if you are more powerful, then you are more competitive, and if your neighbor is even more powerful, compared to a Chinese person in China, then the measure of how much more powerful America is, compared to China, is thereby defined and defined accurately.
How are you more powerful? What would happen if you could borrow from yourself and stop paying for two homes, whereby the mortgage interest rate you pay, each month, is sent to someone else, where someone else has enough money to buy a home, a home you pay for, and instead of buying another home, your money is being invested in China, and invested in China so as to rape, torture, and murder anyone who gets in the way of that home grown money monopoly business that manages to convince you, every month, to keep sending that money, and even more money that that mortgage interest money, in the form of involuntary taxes, making you less powerful, each month, and making them (the legal criminals) more powerful each month?
Make it personal. If America is more powerful than China it is only more powerful because Americans are still able to produce more surplus wealth than Americans consume, while Americans are being robbed through mortgage interest and taxation, compared to the crimes going on in China, as the honest productive Chinese people are similarly victimized.
There are two groups.
A. Honest productive people.
B. Criminals.
Those who pay the price for power, and those who steal power from those who pay the price for power. The article about China is either written by an ignorant person in the honest productive people group, or it is written by a person in the criminal group, and the measure of the article, no matter who wrote it, is measurable by how the words affect the readers of the words. Are you inspired to keep transferring your earnings to people who may then use the power you sent them against you? Are you inspired to use some of your power investing in China? What are you inspired to do, as a result of reading the article? I'm curious. I am inspired to comment on the article, my work is this paper trail you are now reading, or speed reading; assuming a lot on my part.
The price of electricity is as important of a measure of which country is more powerful as is the price of money, which is, the price of money is: Interest.
When powerful money is abundant, as abundant as powerful electricity, both prices go down, because the price of things that are abundant, like the price of sunlight, or the price of clean air, is lower, and lower, and lower, as it becomes more, and more, abundant.
When powerful money is scarce, or electricity is scarce, or motor fuel is scarce, or clean air is scarce, or sunlight is scarce (nuclear winter), then who must pay that price?
Why is powerful money scarce? Why is electricity scarce? Why is motor fuel scarce? Why is clean air scarce?
The answer is simple. There are people who make those things scarce on purpose, because they profit from that work, to make those things scarce, and to make those things scarce they must first gain the power needed, and then they must then use the power they steal, in the work that eliminates competition, which must happen, or failure to make that happen results, inevitably, in competition, whereby someone else will produce that which is demanded, be it more powerful money, or more electricity, or more motor fuel, or more clean air.
Example:
Algae can be produced cheaply, independently, to replace coal, petroleum, and natural gas, as a fuel, and the process of producing that cheap and abundant fuel consumes CO2, and that process produces oxygen, so, put on your thinking caps, why is that fact not common knowledge known by any supposed political economy expert, reporting how bad, or how good, the news is today?
That is all I have to report today, and I have yet to edit this present offering, and the kitchen is a mess, and it is already 10:32 AM May, 25 2011.
1:10 PM and I have to get to work, no time to clean the kitchen, no time to finish editing.
