Here's another good one:

Ms. Lynch [president of the Public Utilities Commission] insisted in an interview on Thursday that there was no emergency. She was seated in a dark San Francisco office then, she said, the only light glowing from a computer screen, because the state had required employees to turn off their lights to conserve energy.

Uh-huh. :-/ OTOH,

"We have the power," Ms. Lynch said, noting that the state's power generators can generate 44,000 megawatts of electricity. But she agreed that something must be done to understand why one-quarter of that amount — about 11,000 megawatts — is unable to be tapped because the generators are not up and running. "From my perspective, people want a magic pill and they aren't going to get it," she added.

You got that right, lady.
