Here's the problem I have with reading some story about growers popped for power usage, with the bust ORIGINATING with that info. It serves cops interests to lie. The reporter is some local douche who prints what the cops tell him. It serves the power company's interests to play both sides by saying what the cops want them to say to the press, but leaving it at that since a dollar's a dollar after all and growers are their best customers.
If I'm a cop interested in making growing seem riskier than it is, I definitely pin as many busts as I can as originating with the power company, since power consumption is easily the least controllable factor in grow security.
How the power company or anyone knows I'm running an op and not a kiln is something that needs to be explained.
I agree with finding an explanation... hmmmm..
