Scumbria, Regulation prevented the buildout necessary to supply electrical demand. I think it was AMD with the dual Athlons running in their labs that drained all the power in Silicon Valey. <g> Joe

Nope, I don't listen to Rush. He's just a whiner. This will help though. Cut your hippie hair and drop it off at the electrical plant. Have them burn it to make electricity. Heh, Rx

Regulation prevented the buildout necessary to supply electrical demand. Been listening to Rush? There was clearly demand for electricity. If it wasn't extremely difficult to build power plants in California and if the price charged is allowed to have some similarity to realistic market based rates the shortage would probably not have be as bad and relief from it would probably on its way (it might not be here yet as markets aren't perfect either esp. in the short run but they are far more responsive to supply and demand then governments).

Scumbria, there are only two ways to solve California's energy crisis in the long term: 1) Build more power plants (against the wishes of the community and environmental activists of the last decade) 2) Tell California residents and business to drastically cut back their electricity use (like 30% or something) Which would you suggest? Craig Barrett himself suggested nuclear generators, but like he said, that's a "politically incorrect" solution these days. Tenchusatsu
