What will get the offline QF's back online, for instance?

Paying them the amounts owed for power delivered will get them back online. Many can't even afford to buy NG because their suppliers now require COD terms.

California HAS been digging themselves in deeper, but it has been caused by an unwillingness/inability to accept the only realistic solution: higher rates. If they had made the increases last November, rather than whining all this time, the problems now would be fairly minor. The QF's would have been paid, there would have been a lot more power available, and the resulting power prices paid so far this year would have been a lot less.

There is no doubt in my mind that the majority of the current problems have been caused by the actions of the CPUC and politicians in the last 5 months.
