>>When will people ever realize that the law of supply and demand is like the law of gravity. You can try and defy it but eventually it will have its' way with you.

When San Diego's electricity rates soared in response to huge increases in the price of natural gas - they had divested plants and were allowed to raise rates - demand quickly dropped by 9%.

So what happened? - the Dems in the legislature ordered rates back down and energy use soared to previous high levels.

Dem Gov Davis's appeals for lower consumption haven't worked - consumption hasn't abated. And Davis's political "fix" is designed to re-elect him but will cripple the CA economy LT if it goes through.
