Thanks for an 'outside' perspective, Alan.

No Thanks for the immature response, Dimitri.

Thank God for a thread that's less than 48 layers deep relating to the power
discussion!!

How about that Gray Davis? He is a WONDERFUL WHINER! What a pitiful
political hack. He could at the least, stop blow-drying his hair to do his
part in the conservation effort.

As far as his efforts to bankrupt the state by spending EVERYTHING on power,
STOP!!!  I certainly don't want this state bled dry to buy power at stupid
rates rather than have some outtages. What's wrong with cutting the grid
back across 4 ROB's between 1AM and 4AM? Bank the energy saved as credits to
use during the day.
