ed to asking for power from a very dirty plant(s) that had to pay very high environmental penalties to operate. These dictated penalties were priced into the cost. Thank you very much. Exactly what I'm talking about. If your going to pollute, you have to pay more and you have to charge more. If the idiotic CA government wouldn't have messed with the industry, then there'd be enough power and no one would have payed the extra whatever they paid for that smidget of power. Edit: But then there's the bad part of that. Then the gment gets money for the permit, then the gment gets more money on higher amounts of sales tax. So the gment ends up getting more money in the end and pollution would drop if it were a pollution permit system where companies could buy and sell.
