Hi wrenches: I ran across this interesting statement in someones
posting to another group, dont know how true it is . Carl

California's electricity problem is caused by a shortage of natural
gas, as gas
runs low there is not enough pressure in the pipelined to allow its
generating
plants to run, we are being told that the plants are down for
maintenance-where
they are down for lack of gas.
That is being kept from the people so as not to cause a panic.
Natural gas can be liquefied and imported from overseas but there are
no ships
available that do not already have long-term leases.
Natural gas generally can only be shipped thru pipelines over land.

California's problem is predicted to become much worse peaking in mid
summer and
lasting for two years.
That shock should cause California to over-react to energy so that
when the
global energy shortage hits in about 4 years, California will be the
least
affected.
