Ten, Actually you are wrong. The Republicans understand fear mongering, misinformation and propaganda. Read this article, and see how it jives with the cr@p you have been hearing from the ANWR enthusiasts. Campbell is also wrong to say that ``California has not constructed a single major power plant in the last 10 years.'' Ignore the fact that California doesn't build power plants; private companies do, and in the early part of the decade investors shunned the entire electricity sector because of low prices and widespread surpluses. But even so, the California Energy Commission licensed 12 power plants in the early part of the 1990s, and nine are producing almost 1,000 megawatts of power today (the equivalent of about 1 million California households). Since April 1999, the energy commission has licensed nine new power plants with a combined generation capacity of some 6,300 megawatts, and six of those plants are already under construction. Almost 7,000 megawatts more should clear the siting process by this summer. The total of 13,000 megawatts represents about one fourth of current statewide peak demand. www0.mercurycenter.com Scumbria
