Ten, Read the article in the Mercury News (thanks to Windsock) to understand how far off-base most of the anti-California propaganda has been: www0.mercurycenter.com Since April 1999, the energy commission has licensed nine new power plants with a combined generation capacity of some 6,300 megawatts, and six of those plants are already under construction. Almost 7,000 megawatts more should clear the siting process by this summer. The total of 13,000 megawatts represents about one fourth of current statewide peak demand. The GOP see California as a lost cause, and is going to use the state to get the ANWR bulldozed. The hysteria being whipped up by the right wrt California is quite impressive. BTW Mr. self-righteous Oregonian: statewide electricity use grew by only about 11 percent from 1990 to 1999; even in high-tech Silicon Valley, consumption was up by only 12 percent. Most of the growth that has over-stressed the western power grid occurred outside California, in neighboring states with lesser commitments to energy efficiency. Scumbria
