[QUOTE]Originally posted by Charles Capps: [QB] As a California resident, I'm of course irked at all this. There haven't been rolling blackouts yet during the winter... that was only the summer. This is directly caused by the simple and obvious fact that, besides the fact that we can't bring in more power from outside, [b]there has not been a new power plant built in California in nearly ten years[/b]. This is particularly an issue here in Moron Hell. Calpine, who already has a cogenerator in Gilroy (part garlic/onion/whatever processing plant, part power generator), wants to put another faccility in south San Jose, around where I used to live. People are pushing for it, as it would help a good deal locally to help ease power concerns, but there's the whole issue about it being less than a mile from suburbia... the locals there don't want to see it there (nor do they want Cisco to move into a building that would be effectivley accross the street, despite that it's in the same green belt that is preventing Moron Hell from putting in the desperately needed second high school...). Anyway. This whole thing sucks. I'm moving to Canada. </rant> [/QB][/QUOTE]
