2/09    Grey Davis ah your loved DEMOCRAT, supporting the loved democrat party
        which supports people rather than business. And who most importantly
        replaced Wilson.
          Just read an article very close to my heart which clearing
        indicates that Davis is a fucking idiot and should at least make
        you think twive when deciding who to vote for- and yes the
        upcoming gov election IS HUGE
          Power crises- in relation to renewable energy
          Davis created a special agency to go out and secure power
        contracts because the current utilities could not do so.
        Additionally he setup a action plan to subsidize the building of
        billions of $$$ of plants
          An auditor just recently went through some of the facts. "green"
        energy accounted for only 230/12,000 megawatts additionally it is
        widely believed that renewable sources of energy are moe
        expensive- the auditor found that the prices paid for the 230
        were actually LESS than fossil based.
          But wait there is more. The state sent out letters to all the
        producers saying if you build it we will come. So there was a big
        rush to build renewable sources of energy ( well at least to "get
        ready" building something is a long long process ) but when the
        renewable sources said OK I'm all ready to go but I need the
        power contract so that you will buy the energy my plant produces-
        California backed out and left all the renewable guys holding the
        bag because they blew all their money with contracts to the
        fossil based corps. Even worse there is a 2.5 megawatt plant in
        orange county which even during the darkest time fo the crisis
        COULD NOT EVEN SELL its power to california.
          So now California is sueing the likes of "republican" enron
        trying to convice the puiblic it was all enrons fault, it was all
        the republicans faults, it was all Wilsons fault ( now I have no
        love for wilson either ).  When in reality it was Davis' fault
        for simply mismanaging the whole affair.
          This is the problem with the political battleground. You can't
        believe anything you hear. Its is all hypocracy. Double-talk.
        From all sides of the fence.
          I go on facts- or at least try. And the facts prove that Davis
        robbed the bank more then even the worst eron exec. He shelled
        out 43Billion in energy contracts to big business and didn't
        leave a penny for renewable sources. Even worse he led them on
        with hopes of funding only to pull the plug......
          Now I am not even going to discuss how he hired his brother to
        manage this whole thing and signed him to a contract paying him
        300K.yr or how he hired some chick out of UCLA to a 5yr contract
        paying like 230K/yr the list goes on and on.
        \_ And he took 110,000$ from Enron.  Wilson warned in his
           farewell speech that the bipartisan deregulation
           plan was flawed, and designed only a step towards
           full deregulation.  Davis completely ignored this.  Californians
           will be paying for his "solution" big time over the
           next ten years.
        \_ I think pete wilson shares a lot of blame for the
           pseudo power crisis, but it doesn't matter does it,
           since he's not running for anything anymore.
