California's energy "policy."
Global warming legislation is on the front burner in Congress.
If passed, it will screw things up like you would not believe.
This is what's going on in California, working under a similar concept.
I still remember the last time they "fixed" the energy system in California. An attempt by the economically-ignorant to successfully combine deregulation and rigid price controls, which worked about as well as one would expect.
But hey, check out all the loot they'll get from the producers, and all the control they'll have over the users. And isn't that what it's all about in the first place?
