Deregulation is part of the problem. I don't understand why the government was willing to sit back and watch the power companies fuck up California's power supply, through their idiotic cartels.
Any reasonably responsible government anywhere else in the world would have kicked serious ass, and ordered the incompetents to build more power stations. And whether its against the American way or not for the government to interfere with the private sector is just so much twaddle. Our government should damn well pull its finger out of its ass and start ordering private companies to do its bidding, at least when these companies are the crux of the most econimcally powerful state od the union. It's in the best interests of everyone that they do so.
I'm not saying that government interference is good, or that privatisation is bad. That philosophising crap is for the turds of the world, and is why we are so screwed up anyway. They should just damn well do the right thing, and fuck the whiners!
