if they do the contract way of getting services, that will bring them kind of close to what the feds are doing with IT services.

"The governor wants to accelerate the adoption of renewable power - wind, solar, geothermal, biomass. He succeeded in persuading the PUC to move its deadline from 2017 to 2010 for having 20 percent of California's power renewable. But if we're going to double the proportion of electric power from renewable sources in the next five years, the program needs to get in a higher gear."
The dumbass is going to spend a ton of money on subsidizing silly windmills and compost heaps, while southern California heat overloads the grid. How about Mr. Republican start doing what they keep accusing those evil Republicans of doing--give the utilities a 125% income tax credit on any money they spend on grid improvements? Then they have a interest!
The Governator is tied down by a hopelessly socialist legislature. He is threatening an initiative to "blow up" the current government's inefficient "boxes" organization and the shamelessly gerrymandered leg. districts. I think he realizes that a populist appeal is really the only way to rule over an entrenched, arrogant, bureacracy that has grown out of touch with its people. Don't dismiss Mr. Universe lightly. He may very well continue to surprise...
