King Davis smiling...where is his plethora of male interns!
"Red" Davis: King of California.

Why is the "Red" man so happy--it's because his friends have pulled the wool over your eyes and now you think that he is going to solve the problems people like him created due to their "environmental concerns" and their long range scheme to control every aspect of your life.  
Wow, Grey Davis is thinking (about a male intern)

Sacramento Bee January 2001: "Governor Davis, in his state of the union speech called for more government involvement and regulation of the power industry"

Well, it seems that the governor of our beloved state, once again, has failed to see the point. The point that he is missing is that private industry is the solution to our problems, not the "full weight" of the state government.  The "Red" man, wants to grab control of the power distribution grid and have the state set rates.  

Excuse me folks, are we living is Soviet Russia or the United States?  The best way our "problems" can be solved is not by state company take-over and interference, but to have the state government get the hell out of the way of private industry.  

This state had not, until 1994, authorized or licensed construction of a new power plant in ten years.  Why? Because of the likes of groups like "Friends of the Earth," and The Sierra Club cry " land rape" whenever someone wants to build a new power plant or energy project.  Yet people like King Davis and his minions allow this rapid growth (which is good), but did not foresee the need of developing the infrastructure (water and power demands and methods to supply them).  You people  elected this lourdan and now all of you want this epicene  to solve the problem.  You have played right into the hands of these Ivory Tower liberals who create a problem; and come along a few years later and opine: "we have a solution."  Gray Davis'  solution: the state of California to purchase of the power transmission lines and utility companies. Gray Davis' solution  falls far short. 

The solution is not another government take over. It is though private industry.

Some inventive little geek will perfect fuel cell technology or make solar power cells cheaper and more efficient and as more people go "off the grid" true competition will begin.

"Ah," you inquire, "show me where private industry has succeeded to make a go of a utility service." All one need to do is look at telephone service today. Twenty years ago, our hero Ronald Reagan refused to accept the bribe that A.T.&T. offered every president since Woodrow Wilson. When the government stopped meddling in the telephone industry just what happened? We now have a bunch of baby "Bells" and have telephone rates cheaper than they were in 1980. Cheaper dollar for dollar, not adjusted dollars. We have cell phones, not the bulky "car" phones of just ten years ago and a choice of long distance companies, communication satellites up the wazoo, wireless cable and the Internet, and the newly emerging technology of satellite television. All the government had to do is get the hell out of the way and let peoples inventive juices and venture capitol (that is money that private individuals risk in hopes of a big payoff, for those of you who live in Terra Buena) flow.

Move back to West Hollywood. Oh, Grey, take your  wife with you. We don't like her either!
