"The Houston companies and other energy firms operating in California say they advised the state in 1997-98 to go for long-term contracts for electricity and avoid depending on the spot market--as it ended up doing by establishing the Power Exchange, which conducts an hourly auction in which the vast majority of the state's electricity is bought and sold. Maybe they did. Maybe they didn't. But who was "The Gov" in '97 & '98? If there ever was an example of politicians and corporate lobbying helping create a complete bi-partisan f--- up, this is it. Just face it all happened well before Davis.
