I tend to forget that the California deregulation was supported by the Republicans. If they had only left well enough alone.

But I bet the price caps were insisted on by the Democrats as the price for going along. And the Republicans probably agreed because they believed the free market approach would be so successful that the price caps would be irrelevant.

Ah, don't we just LOVE politics?

But I worry about a fomer client of mine who worked for PG&E, has his retirement program there and most of his 401(k) in PG&E stock. Will he have to to work for McDonalds at 68? And all the widows who relied on the SoCal dividends to supplement their SocSec.

But I worry more about what happens to my income when our power crashes because we're sending it all down to Calif because they made sure to build lots of nice tax and job producing server farms and high tech companies but made sure nobody could build a nasty polluting power plant to power those server farms and companies. Like no politician could see this coming years off?
