Remember that due to a carefully organized campaign of neighborhood opposition, aided in part by the city's desire to have more valuable land use than power plants, San Jose refused to authorize a power plant there just two months ago. The plant was being referred to the PUC for an override of the city's decision when the current crunch hit. I wonder how many neighbors have changed their minds now that they're being laid off two hours a day in computer plants idled by blackouts. Silas Warner
