OT Actually, the problem in CA was due to the Republicans leaving power in 1998 and NOT telling the democrats what to look out for. makes sense when you think about it as they want to get back in power. From what I have read, it seems the warnings that we needed more power plants were there in '98 and the 3 yrs to build them would have had us plenty of power by summer of '01, BUT why help your political enemy, especially when the Sierra Club was part of the deal? One really quick way to get nukes and more power plants in is to let the "other side" fail miserably and the only solution to bail them out is lower emission standards and/or nukes.

Re: "Republican governors are the answer." What I meant when I said that had less to do with CA and more to do with other states where they govern. Christy Whitman in NJ where I live was excellent and George Pataki in NY is doing a great job as well. There are a whole bunch of midwest governors who I believe are in this group. To a man they govern in the middle. They are fiscally conservative in most cases. Some are socially liberal but others are conservative. California I guess is a special case. NY will be too if Cuomo Jr. becomes governor.
