re:"Together with a few other major energy cronies like Williams, Duke, El paso, etc, they had the power, motive and opportunity to create a massive phony energy crisis, create an artificial shortage, manipulate prices, rip off tens of billions and create an artificial scare tactic issue which Gore had no solution for."

Actually there really was a shortage of electricity. And the Clinton/Gore solution to the California Energy Crisis, was to ignore it, to pretend there was nothing wrong. They ignored it, probably, because they didn't want people to question the energy policy of the Clinton/Gore Administration in the middle of a Presidential Election.

"...I think the world of President Clinton but the Clinton administration didn't give us any help. They were just trying to get us to raise rates 300-400 percent and I wasn't going to do that." - Gray Davis, on the Clinton Administrations response to the California Electric Power Crisis.
