Hi Glenn, The irony of the Gigot piece is that he knows fully as well as most of the readers of this thread that there is no "crisis" in the California or national energy markets. There is a plan that is being executed*, along with a few thousand marginal businesses. IMHO, Gigot takes the cake for apologist sycophancy to big business's baser instincts. Have a nice weekend, Ray :) *and I'm not talking about this one: energy.gov

Sites for Energy Policy....Past and Present.... BTW, hard to find too much about Clinton's 8 year energy policy.... pritchettcartoons.com Clinton-Gore energy policy georgewbush.com Bush-Cheney Comprehensive National Energy Policy Forward.............. The Clinton-Gore Administration has failed to develop a comprehensive energy policy. It has raised gasoline taxes, discouraged domestic production of oil and natural gas, and admitted it was “caught napping” when oil prices spiked earlier this year. It has also failed to plan for the New Economy’s accelerating demand for electricity. On this Administration’s watch, U.S. dependence on foreign oil has jumped to 56 percent – the highest percentage ever. In 1973, during the oil crisis, U.S. dependence on foreign oil was at only 36 percent. Over the past seven and a half years, our international credibility has been diminished, and Saddam Hussein’s Iraq is now a major oil supplier to the U.S. Governor Bush understands that ensuring U.S. energy security requires presidential leadership and a comprehensive national energy policy. His policy, which includes more than 20 initiatives, helps low-income households with their energy bills, improves air quality, encourages the development of renewable and alternative fuels, and, recognizing that alternative sources supply less than 4 percent of U.S. energy needs, promotes access to foreign oil and the development of U.S. oil, coal and natural gas resources ************this is a extensive link and has a good deal of information ******** 88888888888888888888888888888> heritage.org Over a Barrel: The Clinton Administration's Failed Energy Policy by the Honorable J.
