Arizona threatens to cut off LA electricity supply
Los Angeles receives about 25 per cent of its power from Arizona, meaning a quarter of America's second largest city could be plunged into darkness.
Politicians in the city voted last week to impose a boycott on Arizona which will affect about $8 million (£5.3 million) worth of contracts with the state. City officials will also stop travelling to Arizona.
In response an Arizona utility commissioner raised the prospect of the state's utility companies cutting Los Angeles off.
In a letter to the city Arizona Corporation Commission member Gary Pierce said: "If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation.
"I am confident that Arizona's utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands.
"If, however, you find that the City Council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona's economy." Mr Pierce said if Los Angeles was "serious" about its boycott and not just "posturing" then it would have to consider supplying its own power.
