well you can't blame shortages on the price to the consumer being capped -- that's not what caused it.

>>>The whole argument with Flats came out of her insistance [which she has since backpeddled on] that deregulation is 'bad', and her wild claims about who was responsible for electicity shortages.<<< I haven't backpedalled at all. The CA dereg model is certainly "bad" and almost every dereg model I've seen is horrendously flawed and will more likely than not fail. If there is an answer to this at all it's in slow, deliberate restructuring. My so called "wild" claims as to who is responsible for the shortage at least take into account both sides of the supply equation. I haven't seen that "nuance" discussed by any of the "free marketeers" as of yet.
