Not to change the subject too much but Craig Barrett must be fairly well informed on CA energy problems. AP: Is forward progress in technology at risk because of the power crisis? Barrett: I don't think it will slow down the overall pace of technology. If anything, it will re-awaken the debate in the United States as to what a successful energy strategy is. I don't think you could have that debate without reopening the issue of nuclear power. Unfortunately, California has been at the leading edge of not doing anything - don't build any new power plants, don't build any nuclear plants (with the belief that) it will take care of itself. It's very clear it's not taking care of itself. There's going have to be pro-active dialogue and discussion on how we get a rationale energy policy in place. California doesn't have one.
