That's not untrue, though. Maybe not NSP specifically, but the current state of the power utility (ie. Emera is accountable to shareholders who may or may not live in NS, essentially controls 100% of the electricity available in NS, and owns electrical utilities in other jurisdictions) means that Nova Scotians are paying significantly more for electricity than we might be otherwise. This is also terrible for industry, and is one of the reasons that the mills are all shutting down and/or getting bailed out.
