An interesting article, but it leaves out an important point. Yes, California was asleep at the switch during the power crisis. However, when California figured out a problem they quickly focused on a single solution to their problem. That solution was to do everything the same, except ask the federal energy regulatory commission to step in and provide the state with refunds and to limit the amount of money people could charge for electricity.

What gets me mad is that the political leadership in California did nothing but express victimhood and try to say the problem was caused by Republicans. The political leadership of California took no swift nor meaningful steps to reduce the magnitude of the problem. It was only after they had exhaused many many victimhood pleadings that they started to take small steps to help themselves. Too little too late.

Real leaders lead. Democratic leaders beg and blame others!
