Wonder how much gas costs in California?
(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")
They are truly out of touch. The crunch could come at any time and they guarantee they won't be ready.
Here's a link to gas prices in the U.S. by counties. I picked it up from a thread recently.

Does NAFTA allow us to drive trucks full of nuclear waste down in to Mexico and drop them off? Seems like fair trade to me.
Yea, just keep sucking electricity from Palo Verdes Nuclear plant in AZ.
They aren't that stupid, this has been planned for decades.
It's a long post, but it's worth the time.
These imbeciles have been on the wrong side of the issue long before Bush became the hate target of every nut case in the US.
They are an appointed body. It is time for change. I believe the pulse of California, in spite of its high percentage of Bugs and Bunny types would have a majority in favor of energy independence ASAP.
Everyone seems to have forgotten why doofus Davis was recalled...
while Americans have been sitting on their collective hands, France is generating SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT of all their electricity with nuclear power today!
personally, I like the combo nuclear desalination/hydrogen/electrical generating plants
like these:

I guess this is what you get when the monkeys run the zoo....
I hope California citizens enjoy their electric rates...
Why, because they are so full of it?
The whole issue of nuclear waste disposal is nothing but a myth. A great whopper. In reality, waste disposal is a tremendous *advantage* of nuclear power. It produces about one-millionth as much waste as coal power. Oh, and it is less radioactive overall too, by the way. It's well past time for the ridiculous myth of nuclear waste disposal to die.

Yesterday there was a story of Malibu residents opposing a planned LNG terminal in there area

The consistent trait seems to be that Californians want power, they just don't want to produce it.
You nailed it. If you take a 1,000 megawatts of coal vs. nuclear generation, the radioactive waste is higher with coal.
a process for recycling nuclear fuel is now in development and being pushed by the administration.
I forgot to mention that air pollution from coal power kills an estimated 50,000 Americans annually. Where are the environuts when you need them? Hell, if one person gets a sneeze as the result of nuclear power, they're marching in the streets.
I live in CA, and I'm lucky that we use natural gas rather than coal to generate electric power in my area (San Jose). So I can still breath. But the problem is that we use natural gas for both electric power and heating, cooking, etc. If the supply is disrupted, we're hosed. Why can't the idiots who control CA energy policy figure that out?
Rates apply only when there is product to buy. The demand is growing well beyond the supply. When the summer heat arrives, the rolling blackouts will return as well. The meter doesn't spin much when your section of the grid is turned off.
Of course. They just leech power off all the other states. You pay to build it, you pay to maintain it, and they'll nurse off it. They're liberals!
