The government trying to run the energy business, or any business, reminds me of Monty Python's Dennis Moore trying to redistribute income equally. It's trickier than it looks.

I can hardly wait for GrayOut Davis's Sequel to "Rolling Blackouts and Copouts"

I live in a block that is next to get hit again when the power crisis rears its ugly head again.

Nothing significant, repeat nothing significant has been done to address this and many other state's future power and energy requirements.

You just keep running those radio ads Guv... and we the people will decide in November what you have or have not done for and to this state and its fututre growth.

Politics is the art of talking deceptively and keeping a straight face as you collect campaign donations

The guys running our state haven't a clue on how to deal with the power problem. Their only solution has been to force the utilities into chapter 11 and buy power at above market prices. Time to throw the bums out.

"Their only solution has been to force the utilities into chapter 11 and buy power at above market prices."

That about sums it up, doesn't it?
