The truth of the matter, of course, is that NO applications
to build power plants have been turned down. Power plant
owners/operators saw too much risk relative to likely return to
apply to build very many until 2-3 years ago, and those plants
will be coming on line starting next year. And while their
assessment of risk vs. return seemed correct at the time, it
turns out of course that the returns would have been far greater
than their estimates, and they would have made a fortune.
The outlook for the power market in California was
"uncertain" after deregulation, and in a climate of uncertainty,
business will be reluctant to invest.
