If we don't hit Stage Three, then the terrorists will have won!

LOL. To paraphrase George Bush, you're either with us or you're with Gray Davis.

especially that now some of the reporters know the difference between an Emergency and an Alert.

You bet they do. The CAISO server is, practically speaking, unavailable since ISO starting dumping interruptable power (1500 megawatts since 3:15pm).

Just to speculate for a moment.

If the Phillips/Tosco Refinery accident were related to the Stage 2 Emergency Power Curtailment; could one say that Davis has now taken the ultimate stand in attacking the drivers of California.

Conversely, can we say that depending on the amount of damage at the Refinery, there could a dramatic reduction in the supply of gasoline in California during the peak driving season. And if we further believe in supply and demand (I know Davis doesn't) would that mean that gasoline prices should likely skyrocket soon in California. If that happens what is the likely result regarding Davis chances of re-election.

Inguiring minds want to know!

Davis might just have become total toast today without knowing it.
