The upgrade represents "the first greenfield, privately financed transmission line in the history of the country,"

Gray Davis, and the rest of the nation's from top to bottom bureaucracy.

So let me get this straight. The free market is finally stepping in to clean up the mess that Grey Davis "could have fixed in 20 minutes"?

This is SO opposite what Greyout Davis envisioned with his California Power Authority. Greyout wanted a Soviet-style utility to fix the problems.

Perhaps there is hope for California after all. This would have made Ronald Reagan smile.

It started to happen a decade ago, shortly after the nation elected a draft dodging leftist dumbass hillbilly POTUS!!!

Seems we might someday soon need a "Contract with Californians" instead of a "Contract with America!" Do ya suppose???

It might start out something like this: "Suppose that together we could once again make CA the envy of the world..." (and I don't mean "green with envy!")
