Quincy... are you actually reading what I am writing? I have never used the word, "communist" -- where did that come from? I believe I may have used the term, "statist". Your two choices ignore the third: a fully free country that is unregulated which would be much richer, more productive, have less government intrusion and a great deal more energy. Instead we find ourselves in an increasing energy shortage -- at the root of which is decades of state and federal regulation. What the conglomerates are doing I do not label socialism. What the formerly great State of California is seeking is. Terrence Terrence, it takes a special kind of stupid to lable price caps as "communist" to end nationwide economic terrorism put upon us by energy conglomerates. Pick One: A fully deregulated collapsed third-world economy like Russia or a regulated energy economy that built this country to what it is today. You can't spin conglomerate's practice of shutting down a small percentage of its turbines and cause a four-fold spike in prices charged by remaining plants as socialism.
