Energy Market Manipulation
Paul Krugman wrote a column that appeared in my London Free Press today.. he is a columnist for the NY Times and writes economic and financial viewpoints for them. I dont have an online link yet.. so I'm paraphrasing it as best I can and direct quoting where I can.

He talks about the fact that Power supplies have become fairly reasonable in California and prices have dropped dramatically: a year ago from 750$ US a megawatt hr and now going for less then 100$ sometimes less then 50$.


Scott, what surprised me on my recent trip to LA is that gas is about $.20-.30 more expensive in CA than WA even though most gas is refined in CA.

It has to be the gas companies taking advantage, or a new tax surcharge on gas in CA. Otherwise, it makes no sense.
