But the California power crisis is not an example of what happens when businessmen are running important industries. It's a story of what happens when politicians try to manage competition and impose their vision of a market.

If "deregulation" means less - not more - political control over an industry, then the California electricity industry has not been "deregulated."

First, the state forced the electricity companies to sell their power plants to independent investors and become power distributors.

Second, the state assumed total day-to-day control of the utilities' power grid to make sure they couldn't abuse their market power.

Third, the state required new owners of the divested power plants to sell their juice to a state-managed "power pool." The price of that power is set by a daily spot market run by - you guessed it - the state. Electricity companies that wanted to compete for your business had to buy their electricity from this pool, and the price charged them was equal to the highest price received by any electricity generator in the daily state-managed spot market.

Fourth, regardless of what they pay for power in the wholesale market, no company can charge a consumer more than 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour. That price can't change until the company has paid off its share of the bailout the state gave the electricity companies in order to accept this new regulatory scheme.

Now, what kind of "deregulation" imposes rigid government dictates on how industries should organize themselves? What sort of deregulation keeps fixed prices on retail providers? What kind of "deregulation" requires retailers to buy power through a state-run central exchange? And what brand of "deregulation" forbids retailers from buying electricity more than one day ahead?

Did you make a post in reaction to 183? Just curious. I don't think it addressed to topic of this thread either. Looks like your bias is showing, but that's okay. I'm always interested in how other forum participants percieve things.

[GrandMoM]

Intelligence ????

....nah,there's no intelligence in voting for Arnold it's more about celebrity, the BID BAD DUDE WITH THE GUNS!!!!!.

Arnold voters find it to much trouble to study candidates agenda's and vote for the one that would be able to truely save this state!

[DoughtyOne]

Hmmm, I wonder how many posts folks would find you addressing the problems of Bustamante, if they bothered to look. I'll leave it for others to figure out what your real agenda is. I kindof think taking down a Republican candidate isn't a very Republican thing to do.

[EllaMinnow]

It's not just you!

Seriously, I don't think many kids available for adoption are orphans, either.
Every orphan I've known has been adopted by family, and never was in the "system."

[I got the rope]

Please post any links you might have to Bustamante coming out against NAMBLA. Thanks.

Sorry...I didn't see your post...I'll see what I can find.

[Tempest]

And I've already explained to you the REAL reasons of why Simon was never an electable candidate in California, just like McClintock. I just wish you'd face reality.

[GSWarrior]

So....let's make McClintock an electable candidate. If not now, then in 2006.

[nosofar]

Social conservatives outta dry up and blow away. Time to evolve!

But then no one would be around to say "I told you so."

[nosofar]

It's perfectly acceptable to hand permanent legal custody for young boys to the kind of people most likely to rape them, as long as we get a Republican in office.

Arnold '03!

Sure. Why should we care about some little kid we don't know. Small price to pay for Power.

[I got the rope]

I'm sick and tired of my life being controlled by the feminist/abortionist/homosexualist/gungrabbing/American hating cowardly liberal, thus I am 100% behind removing as many of their evil carcasses as possible from our government and keeping them out!

All of the above means that I will not tolerate for long anyone posting garbage that is designed or will lead to promoting or campaigning for Democrats, likewise any plans proposed to dump Bush or dump Republicans to the point we lose the majority.

Free Republic was never intended to be a liberal debating society. It has a purpose and goals. The long term goal is to promote the cause of conservatism and to work for a return to the constitutionally limited republican form of government as established by our founders. If these are not your goals then I don't want you here.
