Sure. I live in CA. We went from "no problem" to a massive "shortage" JUST AS the price caps on electricity came off statewide. STRANGEST COINCIDENCE. Particularly strange because there had NEVER been any electricity shortages before or any intimations that one was on the way. Now electricity demand just doesn't change suddenly- -the growth in demand in is gradual. It depends on population and industry growth. ANn one of the things electric companies do is project those to assure that there WON'T be shortages. Except once. Very strange. No manipulation, my a$$.

Q. Gray Davis said that this recall would cost $25-40 million. Is that true? A. There will indeed be a small cost to conducting an election should the recall effort qualify for the ballot. But this cost will be a minute fraction of the amount Gray Davis has cost Californians. The state’s budget deficit grows by more than that EVERY single day, while the Governor and Legislature do little to solve the state’s financial problem. It is 1/4th of the amount he cost Californians in the Oracle software scandal. It is less than 1% of the cost to Californians from Gray Davis’ mishandling of the Energy Crisis. It is less than 1% of the cost to Californians from Gray Davis’ mishandling of the Budget Crisis. Ask yourselves if you think it will be cheaper to spend $25 million to Recall Gray Davis now, or allow him to cost the state billions and billions of dollars more from his continued failed leadership and corruption. - -From email received from the "Recall Gray Davis" campaign recallgraydavis.com HEY!
