KeepItS - Apparently there is a surplus from the LA area that could go north where it's needed, but lack of sufficient infrastructure to carry the juice creates a bottleneck, and there's a long build out time to add to it. It's even worse between states I imagine, and is less efficient over greater distances.

Unexpected demand pop overcame supply, and the bidding system under dereg gives the highest peak crunch price to all suppliers, not just the one who got that bid. Who on earth dreamed that one up ? One might guess that some clever power providers slipped it by some tired, unaware, $35,000 or whatever per year state legislators.
