Of course your state is having a power crisis. Market forces. California
is offering more money to the independent power companies than you are.
What do you expect them to do, sell it to you for less than they can make?
So, you have to pony up more also or start conserving (which Californians
are actually pretty good at doing). If you pony up more, that means
Californians have to do the same again, and on and on until one side decides
they have to cut back somehow on their energy use. Who has room to
cut-back? Who can fork over the most?
Get used to conserving. The sooner you do it, they cheaper everyone's bill
will be. :-O
Or have your state control the means of production. :-)
