re:"I followed the energy crisis day by day even reading the Sacramento Bee every morning so dont tell me Davis knew what was happening. He was so in the dark..." You are simply ignorant of the facts: The fact is Gov. Davis went to the FERC and President Clinton early in the crisis for help. It's up to you to decide how much they helped California. "At the present time, there is virtually no price elasticity in this market, and little prospect of change in the short run. The result is uncontrolled price spikes with no end in sight...This is an important step FERC can take to ensure that California consumers have an effective remedy to market abuse." - Gov Gray Davis to FERC Chairman Hoecker; June 27, 2000 "Dear Mr. President: Thank you for talking with me last night. I very much appreciate your commitment to helping California address the staggering rise in electricity prices we are experiencing...But the outrageous wholesale prices being charged by out-of-state generators makes any rate stabilization plan a difficult and expensive endeavor" - Gov Gray Davis to President William J. Clinton; August 10, 2000 governor.ca.gov@@@@1613075322.1041916699@@@@&BV_EngineID=fadcgdldmjiebemgcfkmchchi.0&sPRDate=DATE_PUBLICATION&sPRCategory=Press+Release&sPRContentType=PR
