>>1) Why do we pay 2-3x as much for natural gas as the rest of the country? I suspect that demand is outstripping supply in CA. Don't you think that if gas could be gotten less expensively that the utilities would be screaming? btw, I believe I read that Enron is actually losing money on its gas contracts in CA. >>2) Why do we consistently pay more for gasoline than the rest of the country, even though we are closer to the supply than most states? CA is closer to the Mid East? The only explanation is government. I spend much of last Fall traveling in the West and noticed the huge price difference between gas in Cresent City and up the line in Oregon. Must have to do with state taxes and huge costs of complying with CA emissions. >>3) Why do you support price and supply manipulation by denying it exists? Why do you beat your wife?
