Gray Davis tells Newsweek that he plans to appoint a ``power-plant czar'' this week who will ``honcho'' the completion of five power plants currently under construction and will expedite the permit process for several more in the energy-needy state. Davis tells San Francisco Bureau Chief Karen Breslau in the January 29 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, January 22) that altogether he plans to have 15 new plants under construction before his term ends in 2002. The plants would be the first in the state since the 1980s. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi- bin/prnh/20010120/HSSA005) Davis, who was criticized for not acting faster, is now trying to increase energy supplies and drive down prices. And he tells Newsweek that he talks ``three times a day'' to former Treasury secretary Robert Rubin, now a co-chairman of Citigroup, ``to make sure Wall Street understands what we're doing.'' But the cost of the power crisis and subsequent disruptions are already costing billions of dollars and many experts now fear that the problems of the nation's largest state economy may spill over to the rest of the country, writes Senior Writer Adam Bryant, in a separate story on California's energy crisis. But Gov. Davis dismisses any suggestion that his state's energy problems will weigh heavily on the country's economy. ``California will not drag anyone into recession. It will outperform the rest of the nation.'' (Read Newsweek news releases at http://www.Newsweek.MSNBC.com. Click "Pressroom.")
