They will never GET IT.
This state has spent like drunken sailors to make CA a lib utopia, are stoney broke, and want a bail out--still, thinking of yet another tax on utilities to pass on to the consumer--that same consumer who may be laid off and broke.
Just off the coast is billions of gallons of oil. Drilling, building a refinery or two, and another utility or two would create good paying jobs galore; the new utilities would keep the light on without importing so much from other states.
What is this idiocy that says we MUST NOT drill, when it is a proven fact that nature throws up more oil spills every year than is caused by drilling, shipping, etc.
Alternatives sound nice, but as of now, WE HAVE NO VIABLE ALTERNATIVES; we are at OPEC's mercy. What is so difficult about that to understand?
