[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] 1. California made its own mess, by allowing the environmental lobby so much power thatr they halted the building of any new plants in CA for over a decade, while the population and tech (and thusly, energy use) BOOMED. Likewise, California's failed attempt at Socialism (by putting caps on the amount utilities could charge, but not doing anything about how much the utilities had to PAY for their resources, and overregulating their construction and maintenance) has nearly bankrupted the utilities, which also keeps them from generating. 2. You cannot spread solar collectors in various areas the country, for the simple reason that clear days are UNCOMMON. ONLY in the southwest can we insure a majority of sunny days. (I'll give you an example: PA has on average, 60 clear days a YEAR, according to the National Weather Institute) 3. Tax cuts give the companies more capital with which to build plants, hire workers to staff them, and pay the costs of complying with legions of government-mandated regulations, many of which are stupid (like those $300 ergonomic seats that the Clinton Administration wanted employers to buy all their employees - fortunately, this one was caught and dealt with by placing it in the circular file.)
