I've haven't seen the liberals-Washington or here on this thread-so stumped for answers. At least not since their buddies, the Soviet Union collapsed under the Reagan Bush pressure machine.

They just lost the tax fight, and looked stupid doing so.

They just lost the energy fight, overrun by the sheer honesty of the new administration. (Cheney doesn't even know HOW to lie. It doesn't occur to him. Compare that to Gore or Clinton?)

And, to little notice, they seem to be working a practical solution to the left-wing plans to torpedo judicial nominations-though expect that to be a real last-ditch war eventually.

Even the media is floundering.

That's momentum, but remember, it can change if diligence is not maintained.

With that warning in mind, I can't WAIT for Social Security Reform, Tort reform, and all those little tax reforms that they will trade for BS like minimum wage and excessive pork (which would have passed, anyway).

Hey Dems, cut the LTCG rate to 15% and you can have a minimum wage increase. The growth tradeoff is positive.

Gordon,

Your link shows a massive 9,378 MW under construction, and expected to be on line in the next two years. It is likely that California will have an oversupply in two years. This is on top of the 9 or 10 new facilities already brought on line.

The comments from the SOE, President and Vice-President about California energy are outright lies.

Is this statement by Spencer Abraham the truth?- "There are peak problems right now because California hasn't brought any new supply into place in 10 years, no new facilities, and so they've got an imbalance, but the way to solve it isn't price caps. "

It is clear that the Republican administration of Pete Wilson did not do well in the early 90's, but the Democrats have been doing much better.

Try not to overlook the fact that before Davis we had 12 years of Republican governors who did nothing to secure the future power supplies. Davis began approving the construction of new facilities only a few months after being elected. So for you to count as a new power plant ONLY those finished and producing is a little disingenuous. There will be lots and soon.
