You aren't kidding, at any sign of price increases our idiot govenor makes a
big stink and forces the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to back down.
Everytime they hold a meeting a bunch of morons show up to protest
increasing prices. We haven't had price increases in over three years. Keep
in mind, inspite of a few intelligent people, California is largely a
liberal state. We now see what happens when a largely liberal state
completely turns control over to a buch of nutty environmentalists. We can't
even use the powerplants we have to full capacity, for fear of air
pollution. Well forgive me if I suggest that we have bigger problems than a
little more pollution.
