Yes. But calling something X doesn't make it X. Unless you agree that
California recently "deregulated" its power industry.

  Just for clarification (since there's no way to defend CA's policy): can a
system be referred to as "deregulated" if regulations are removed; ie:
reduced regulation = deregulation, or is it necessary for *all* regulation
to be removed; ie: no regulation = deregulation?  Semantically, I can see an
argument in either direction, but I'm curious to see the general view.
