OT, re: California power,

Ben Stein's plain-spoken commentary on California's power situation. It all comes down to simple logic in conserving energy, logic that seemed to escape the average Californian citizen (or any other American citizen) in the past several years:

By the way, GV, I really got a kick out of this comment of yours:

<The logic given was that it would result in higher prices to consumers. Well, no sh*t. That's because power is more expensive right now.>

Meanwhile, Ralph Nader and his "consumer advocates" are arguing for the state taking back control of utilities in California. As Ben Stein eloquently puts it, this is "surely one of the stupidest ideas of all time, as the state got us into this mess with its wacky ideas of fake deregulation." But I guess a Nader-style socialism seems all but inevitable now.
