My dad was once a muncipal financing consultant. He was telling me about coming shortages in electrical generating capacity in 1983. If he knew about it, so did everybody else who needed to know.

It took twenty five years for the eco-thugs to make this mess. It's going to take a while to get out, even if we wake up. Given that we elected Arnold with his claque of friends that include the same people as foisted the crisis over that twenty five years, I have my doubts.

Well, we'll see, I guess. The basic problems are obvious enough that even the slowest and stupidest Democrat should be able to figure it out by now - or maybe I'm too generous ;)

I think you're spot-on in desiring nuclear generation - the state of California is overly dependent on natural gas for its power, and natural gas is awfully volatile, obviously. Unfortunately, I think it'll be a cold, cold day in hell before the greenies allow something like that to happen....
