And I read today that a refinery was forced to shut down in California because their power provider shut down because PGE and/or SCE didn't pay for the power they took. California already has a shortage of gasoline. Those California politicians are something else. Reminds me of the saying: "Nero fiddled while Rome burned"

Five year NG contracts ... Quehubo007 posted - The proposed bill would cut the prices to qualifying facilities from about 17 cents a kilowatt-hour the past eight months to about 8 cents/kwh, depending on the price of five-year natural gas contracts the generators can sign. What if they can't get a five year NG contract ? What if the "price" is too high so there's not enough spark spread ? We have a legislature in La-La land. They have their head...well, let' s not go there. This is going to lead to more messy government intervention, possibly Federal, this summer.
