Basic safety requirements in building codes and some effort put in to air quality is not what I'm talking about. CA has regulated energy a lot more then that. When any expantion of power generation becomes a very long and expensive process and the possibility of being effectively vetoed by any political group with a stake against it you will eventually have problems generating electricity. Make some basic rules about safety and emissions fine, then let companies get on with building the electricity generation capacity without court battles or paperwork that weighs more then the plant or endless hearings.

During the 1990's, free market forces wiped out the last of the orchards and vineyards in Silicon Valley.

Do you maintain that there should have been regulation forbiding anyone from using that land for any other purpose?
