Gray Davis' Edison problem
The governor struggles to orchestrate a multimillion-dollar bailout of the utility that has spent big bucks on his campaign.

July 31, 2001 | Ever since his January State of the State address, in which he dwelled on the state's power crisis but neglected to mention private utilities' central role in devising the deregulation scheme that caused it, California Gov. Gray Davis has been searching for a way to bail out the insolvent Southern California Edison, which has contributed more than $350,000 to Davis' campaign coffers. Now his drive to save the battered utility, which claims nearly $4 billion in debt and is no longer creditworthy enough to buy power, has gone into overtime, with no solution yet in sight. An attempt to bring the California Assembly back from its summer recess to vote on a new bailout bill Friday was just the latest such effort to fall apart.

Am I the only one who finds humor in the California energy crisis? Here is a state that votes overwhelmingly for Democrats, allows the environmental lobby to create policy dealing with the construction of everything from homes along the sea shore to power plants, and that has a governor who has appointed himself and the state legislator as CEO and board of directors for the socialized power utility in the nations most populated state and still they're crying about the federal government not stepping in to control the evil, out of state, power generators.
Of all the states in the United States that have deregulated their utilities, only California is having rolling black outs. It is only the California governor who stands in front of a power plant almost every day banging his podium asking that the people of his state turn their air conditioners off when it is 90 degrees outside. Only the people of California are being asked to live as if we were in a third world country rather than in the 7th largest economy in the world. Only in California did deregulation fail.
