Joe, I'll stay away from the blame game - but its you who keeps coming back blaming the feds, but not really backing it up. But I won't go there since you would rather focus on a solution.

Then again, I posted my solution many posts ago - and apparantly you just disregard it because it doesn't include the Fed or other states or citizens bailing out California. In brief, my solution had 2 prongs - letting the price of energy rise to where demand started to slow. There will be a point where the price of the supply will cause a reduction in the demand - that is after all how typical markets work. The other prong was relaxed regulations and restrictions on building new capacity in California. No more relying on Wahington, Oregon, Mexico, and others to do it for you. Make it easy for whoever wants to to build new energy generating plants in California.

As far as an export tax idea - lol, keep dreaming. But hey, there is no reason people who produce goods in CA can't raise their prices. Nothing stopping them - and when / if they do, the marketwould decide if their products at an increased price are worth purchasing in lieu of alternative products, options or actions. Kind of the same choice you and everyone else has with respect to electric power.

A market based solution - who da thunk it ???
