Pat, I think you are 100% completely wrong. California has grown in population and in energy use for decades. For some reason (probably environmental) your state has chosen to stop building power plants. None have been built in your state for over 10 years. As a matter of fact there have been several plants shut down. California chose to buy any power that it can't provide on its own on the open market from sources outside your state. Bad decision. The open market works on supply and demand. There is LOTS of demand in California. Conserve all you want, it won't make a dent in the demand. There is very little power available. That's called supply and more accurately, lack of supply. Low supply + High demand = high prices. You can only blame this on California. Democratic to the core, California thinks the world should bail them out. California thinks that they should be able to use power, but should be able to shift environmental impacts out of their state. They are wrong. It's not because your state is the wealthiest, it's because your state is the most ignorant. IMO, Dave
