    Niagara Falls powers a lot of shit on the East Coast. There was threats to shut it down at one point. As an American I say turn it off make us feel the pain when the power goes out. People might actually blame Trump but that’s wishful thinking

      The power threat was export tariffs, at least a threat from anyone with actual power. The problem being, I don’t think the guy making the threat had that legal power, which is why I’m believe it disappeared.

      I think…

      I’m pretty sure only the Federal Government has that power, though I might be wrong.
