Thanks an interesting article. Simplified some stuff, but also focused in on many of the right things. As we all discussed pollution controls were a big part of what was happening and where a fair chunk of the "money went."

What always amazes me is that Davis screamed that billions were owed to the state, but from a bunch of companies that were all bankrupt or nearly bankrupt. Obviously the money went somewhere else. No one has done a good job of "following the money." I look forward to someone actually documenting where all the money went. My feeling is that it went into pollution controls, overtime work to install them quickly, high natural gas prices that funded extreme gas exploration and pipeline flow enhancements, along with lots of money to political consultants to top Democrats in the State of California and nationally.
