Originally posted by occrider What happened in california however, was simply ludicrous and it wasn't the fault of the local californian energy industry, so much as it was the deregulatory policies laid out for the industry in bill 1890 in combination with external factors such as supply and demand. The Californian energy crisis is a poor argument against deregulation because the incident wasn't a good example of a deregulated industry.

I really don't know anything about the cali situation, my comments and the topic of the thread were based on the report of the blackout in the North East. Each region has it own history and set of problems concerning energy. One thing we probably could all agree on electricity is essential for modern life and that we all take it for granted until something goes wrong.
