Part of the deal made with deregulation in California in 1996 was that the
independent generators had to use alternative and renewable sources of
energy. I'm not sure on the numbers but most of the energy we get in
California now is coming from a variety of alternative sources. However,
even with the latest technology they still need a certain amount of oil and
gas to run their plants.

It's ridiculous to pin it on Gray Davis but check out this other aspect of
the story regarding Davis from a major Democrat website that Open Secrets
did not include in its article.
