But the natural gas shortage has nothing to do with the California crisis
which has supposedly been brought about by a freeze in the price of
electricity when the industry was deregulated a few years ago.
I can already see from Eric's info that our price is higher than that in
Illinois - for 400 Kwh he would pay about $36 and I would pay about $47. This
gives me reason to suspect the claim of the generators that they can sell
their power for more elsewhere, but of course its only one data point. Do you
know what the rates are in the Houston area?

Correction on my previous post - I wrote "PG&E charges me 11.5 cents/Kwh
baseline (345 Kwh) and 13.3 cents for
over baseline for power" The baseline for my December bill was 368 Kwh, not
345.
