I am not a Davis fan (to quote the Klingons, he is a waste of skin), but he inherited the underlying causes of the power crisis:

1. An adamant refusal to build any plants anywhere in the state for the last 10 years. (Although he did support this lunacy!)

2. The idiotic partial de-regulation you described was passed and in effect long before he became governor.

Davis' claim to fame is that he took a small problem, easily solved by deregulating the rest of the electric industry, and turned it into a disaster for which we will be paying over the next 20 years.

"2. The idiotic partial de-regulation you described was passed and in effect long before he became governor."

I'll concede the point, and also add 1. The $12 billion surplus he got wasn't due to his actions either.
