Spoiler alert: neither.

'You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.' So says Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent in the epic 2008 film 'The Dark Knight.'

I especially understand that desire when other utilities — including at least one owned by Buffett — keep incurring cost overruns for the long-distance power lines that I keep telling you are so important for fighting climate change, and that anti-utility activists keep telling me we wouldn't need in such larger quantities if only we built more rooftop solar.
