David Freeman, a senior energy adviser to Mr. Davis who led many of the negotiations last year, defends the PUC filing against generators. have an opinion that we ought to sue 'em every way we can," Mr. Freeman told a legislative committee here last week. "We are putting pressure on them by taking the case to FERC."

I really don't know what other steps these two morons can do to discourage further investment in the Golden State. They're really doing a splendid of job of making the problem so much worse.
The Cal Pine CEO had better watchout. He lives in Kali and will soon find out how Fascist Davis treats people who dare to stand up to him!
Serves them right, though. They knew darn well he was a snake before they snuggled up to him.
