Fascism, where they can tell the utility bosses what to do and then blame them when it all goes to disaster.

Actually, they already do that. Power plants are told when to run, when to stop operations, & how much power to produce. If they don't produce the amount required, they are fined - and have to explain why. If they have an unplanned outage, they have to explain what happened and why. And all to an outside agency! They have a strangehold on power plants. It's much cheaper to produce electricity outside the state.

I know what you are saying. I am among those who fled California. What you cite is only one of the myriad reasons why.

I really saddens me to think of all the good people I know back where there. But they seem happy, so who am I to say otherwise?
