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. I know that, and you know that, but the reality has yet to sink in to CA politicians. Several have mentioned the socialist thinking in CA's government....read the last paragraph in this press release from the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, the Harvey Rosenfield organization...these conditions will likely form the basis of the next Proposition. NEWS RELEASE Apr 05, 2001 Davis on the "Electric Chair" Tonight What Gov. Must Say in His Five Minutes Gov. Davis has to keep his promise to the public not to raise their utility bills and offer a definitive solution to the deregulation disaster in his five-minute speech tonight, consumer advocates said today. The Governor will address the state at 6:05 pm PST (April 5, 2001) on all major news channels. FTCR said the Governor would have to: Guarantee no bailout of the utility companies' errors and no overpayment for the purchase of transmission lines or other utility assets. Ensure that the residential and small business ratepayers, who were promised a 20% rate reduction under deregulation and have already paid $20 billion in deregulation surcharges, experience no new rate increases and that the 9% rate increase in January be reversed. Issue a comprehensive plan to regain control of our electricity system from the wholesale energy companies that, under deregulation, have manipulated electricity supply and prices to reap windfall profits and bring the state's economy to its knees. This plan must include a windfall profits tax and/or seizure of the plants themselves under eminent domain. Pledge to sign legislation implementing a public power system that would utilize the latest conservation and renewable technologies to provide affordable power without profit. You know what the name of that system is? The sun.
