"The Schwarzenegger administration has come out very strongly that it's clean coal or nothing,"

You mean the kind Clinton locked up in a national monument and is owned by the Riadys?

I'm not that familiar with all the past actions to know what's going on. Based on that excerpt from the LA Times, it looked like there was some major maneuvering and/or manipulation going on. I can't figure out the main objective or how this game is being played. They are obviously limiting the supply side and/or putting targeted sources out of business. There actions will therefore increase prices... is that to make the cost of alternative energy sources appear more cost competitive (comparatively)? Or, is it to remove them as a competitor? Or, is it just to force alternative sources, regardless of price? And then, I looked at where this coal plant is located and figured it could also be motivated by a desire to get bailed out of this particular enterprise and develop the land for other purposes. It certainly does not look like a coherent energy policy or strategy.

Hard to figure out where Arnold stands on particular issues, since he rotates like a weather vane depending on who happens to be giving him heat at the moment.
