California & Florida Two states continually in the news in a negative light.

If the weather is cold there in CA, they maybe having high heating demand. This time of year is still maintenance time for power plants before the Winter peak load season. Don't worry I am sure they are still burning alot of NG.

I cant imagine how anyone thinks that having senior citizens who cannot even manage to execute a simple ballot are expected to consistently evaluate thousands of ballots under very stressful conditions. If a standardized approach could be trained into all of the workers I would speculate the "ideal" person could effectively do this work for no more than 6 hours a day. I hear they have limited workers and the days are 14 hours long.

It really is a disgrace to see these people who are incapable of executing a ballot properly being broadcasted around the globe, staring into the light trying to discern the voters intent.

Excardog. At what point do CA PWR prob impact Sil Valley in a big way?

Tech stocks HQ in Silicon Valley that have their R&D and/or mfg operations in CA are dependent upon the availability of large amounts of electricity are they not?

Am neither long nor short tech stocks at this point. Just a thought to ponder.
