-Caveat Lector- --- "M.A. Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Joshua This crisis got out of hand because of deregulation..." ____________________________________________ This is monumental ignorance from Joshua. Michaelj is correct: "Deregulation did NOT occur." The power companies would love to build more powerplants and have more electricity to sell to the people of California. They have been prevented from doing so by the environmental wacko groups and the politicians and bureaucrats who carry out the anti-development agenda. It has become virtually impossible to build new power plants in California. The regulatory "red tape" (including endless environmental impact studies) have, in effect, prohibited the electric companies from meeting the demand for electricity. It's that simple. Now the people of California have to shiver in the dark. Blaming the Electric Companies for this state of affairs is a classic example of delusional denial.
