<<Davis also wants legislation to expand the governor's emergency authority during shortages and to hire 50 inspectors to ``stand guard if necessary'' to ensure that generators are turning on their power plants during shortages and not holding back until prices rise.>> HO HO HO! Imagine Diablo Canyon or San Onofre (nuke plants) having some sort of reactor problem during a peak demand period. Armed state guards threaten to shoot any employee who dares to take the power down and avoid meltdown. Kinda like the "China Syndrome" with a warped beaureaucratic twist! Got Oscars?!<G>

<Sacramento, California, Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- California Governor Gray Davis called California's electricity deregulation plan a ``colossal and dangerous failure'' and called for tighter regulation of ``out-of-state generators'' he blamed for soaring state power prices. Davis, while making no specific proposals for bailing out the state's two biggest utilities, said in the annual State of the State address that he rejected the ``irresponsible notion that we can afford to allow our major utilities to go bankrupt.''> ROFLMAO.... they limit what consumers pay, and claim they won't let the suppliers go bankrupt... got government takeover???
