RE: OT: Electrical Shortages

[edunn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Enough already. Let's get back onto the topic of FrameMaker.

I'd love to discuss the politics involved but this really isn't the correct
forum. If anyone wants to discuss it seriously off-list then alright.

The shortages have to do with a number of factors, political and commercial. And
not all the political problems are the fault of politicians. All the
Californians buying all the shiny new homes have been denying building permits
for both new power lines and new generating stations.
But add to that the fact that the industry is still regulated as per the cost
they can charge consumers. Much of the power shortage has to do with the fact
that the current cost of producing electricity is much higher than what the
utilities in California are allowed to charge. It is the fact that the utilities
are going bankrupt and can no longer pay their suppliers for electricity that
there is not enough power in California.
