Our idiot govenor Gray Davis has done nothing but spend

One of the places it's being bought from is Washington State. As a result.
my power bill is almost double what it was at this time last year. :^P
Meanwhile, the local power companies are asking us to conserve (so they can
sell our power to CA)

Why don't you do what the Soviets did in Murmansk?  To run
the power grid, they hooked up the nuclear submarines to the
grid to keep the power stable and affordable.

Oh sure, I'll just go right out and hook up my nuclear sub. Oh wait, I don't
own one. Guess I'll just keep bending over for the power company.

   No, that was the "royal" ("grand admiral?") you, as in
   the State of Washington.  You've got tons of Pacific submarines
   at Bremerton, right?  Hook 'em up!
