When you say "create legislation", what does that mean to you? The government can't ORDER them to do it with their money - right? The only thing the government can do is provide incentives. Incentives equate to tax savings. Tax savings equate to greater deficits and greater borrowing. If there is another way for the government to affect any private business (assuming they aren't breaking the law), I don't know what it is.
The bottom line is exactly as you say. They WON'T do it on their own. They make their money even if we DO have blackouts. The only way that will change will be governmental action and that means money. At least that is my opinion.
