"If California can't solve the energy crisis, it will spread to the rest of the nation, and the economy will collapse, and we will become a primitive society where we all run around naked with spears and refuse to attend meetings. Wouldn't that be GREAT?"

Being an Oregonian [Boy does THAT sound like an alian lifeform!]:crazy: I can tell you that there is less humor in that than meets the eye. Thanks to the lack of foresight by our neighbors down south, I am looking at an electric rate increase of 40-60% this winter!!!!:bad: :mad:

Not you Dria, just the law makers. What were they thinking, that we have unlimited energy up here?

Twig walks off singing "Roll on Columbia, roll on." by Woody Guthry and turning off the lights as he does.

Don't blame the energy crisis on California. California is a part of the problem, but the problem rests within the entire western transmission grid. For instance, California's electrical use has gone up 3-4% in the last 10 years, while Nevada and Arizona have increased usage by 15-20%.

And, we have our own power sources, my family that is. Six solar panels adorn our roof and power our house, :).
