Ten - Re:"This is yet another sign that Californians still don't get it, and that they deserve this whole mess."

If CA ever practices the "build a wall approach" that you are advocating you Oregonians are going to be in big trouble. Right now power flows across the Western power grid to the highest bidder. 25% of the power generated in CA is exported, much to the Northwest.

Watch out if CA forces the plants sited in CA and owned by those out of state companies to keep all the power in the state. California will have sufficient power and Oregon will instantly have rolling blackouts.

A lot of the out of state companies are from Shrub's home state of Texas and are reporting recording record profits. The former CEO of Enron is on Shrub's energy advisory committee -- he donated $100K to the inaugural alone, lots more during the election. In the past election, Enron and its officers donated millions of $$ to get Bush elected. So far, he has done a good job of protecting the wind-fall profits of the Texas based generators.

Perhaps CA should install a few price controls for those Texas good ol' boys.
