The underlying point I was making (which you seem to have studiously missed) was that it was the lack of planning, the refusal to address the growing energy needs of Californians *until* it became a full blown perceived crisis.

California had an energy planning arm in the California energy commission. Increased electrical needs were identified and the utilities were urged to increase electrical capacity.

The utilities squawked and the FERC backed them. The planning commission was effectively told they were no longer needed as a planning entity as the free market would provide that function.
