Scumbria, Re: <I looked over the documents at the site you pointed too. The oldest record is 1994, and they show less than 10% growth in electricity consumption in CA between 1994 (68,866,355 KWH), and 1999 (74,490,158 KWH). 1999 is the most recent annual report.>
You've got my interest, for at least a little while.
You Say CA 1999 Consumption 74,490,158 KWH.
I see CA 1999 Sales 1999 211,981,000,000 KWH. See:
ftp://ftp.eia.doe.gov/pub/pdf/electricity/054099.pdf
As Shown on Table 6 PAGE 18. Note that it's in KWH X 10^^6.
The numbers you are citing represent *GENERATED* -- as explained on Page 29 of ftp://ftp.eia.doe.gov/pub/pdf/electricity/054099.pdf Paragraph 6. We're talking California Consumption, not California Generation.
Besides which it still doesn't count silly little companies like the one I work for that fires up 6 turbo plants when the weather gets hot.
