Governor Davis is clearly in the wrong on this. He has politicized the energy situation in California and is intent on instituting a government-run power industry in that state.
If it were merely a matter of California providing for its own power needs, that would be one thing. But it imports power and that makes it subject to FERC.
I hope and expect that Davis will lose big. Californians had better hope so, unless they like Soviet-style government coming from Sacramento.
I can't argue with you. With all the NIMBYs and BANANAs running loose here, there's no other choice but to import from other states. Then, the Feds have the upper hand.
"He has politicized the energy situation in California and is intent on instituting a government-run power industry in that state."
Funny thing is if Enron "gouged" CA (according to Davis), then the government-run power entities stripped CA bare since they charged way more than Enron and had a much bigger market share. But the "happy cows" here don't realize that yet.
