Hi GV, re: 2X's more

Nope - Generators suddenly charged 10Xs more, not 2Xs more.

Meanwhile, California's usage did not even come close to increasing by 10Xs in one year.

El Paso has the one pipe and complete dominance in that particular area of California.

When Intel had 100% of the mobile market, should they have charged the consumer 10Xs more, even if demand was up by only 130%?

Btw, Bush didn't like Andy Grove's idea for a high-tech tax cut for PC purchases (to stimulate hightech growth, 20% of GDP), yet Bush seems to like his tax cut for gas/oil.

RE: "the likes of which we haven't seen since New York City's near bankruptcy in the mid 70's."

What happened in NYC in mid-70's? What was that like?

RE: "as long as the state continues to ignore the simplicity of its energy problem (too much demand for too little supply"

The increase in demand is marginal, but the price increases aren't. The 13 new generators that are planned go well beyond the needs of the marginal demand increase.
