How much solar power was added in MW since the Rebate program was started in California? Do have the actual figure? No, do you? You're the one claiming it's significant. Do you know how much the peak load dropped during the crisis from voluntary conservation? No, do you? I can give you the numbers for average and peak loads from CAISO, though. Year - Avg. Load - Peak Load 2001 - 25,384MW - 38,975MW 2002 - 26,065MW - 42,352MW 2003 - 26,329MW - 42,581MW If people were "voluntarily conserving" in large quantities in 2001, why did they stop in 2002? Oh, BTW, relatively few power plants in the US are fueled by oil, so your concern about "a war for oil" is irrelevant to this discussion.
