Study predicts new energy crisis for California

A new report, found through the California Insider, says that while demand for electricity continues to rise in California, the new plants pomised by then-Governor Gray Davis in 2001 are not coming on-line fast enough.

According to the report by the Bay Area Economic Forum, a second energy crisis could be expected in 2006--if not this summer or the next. Politically, this may motivate the Schwarzenegger to action, as the last thing they want the summer before an election is a repreat of his predecessor's worst crises.
