California has about 12% of U.S. population (33 million out of 272 million as of 1999 Almanac Figures), not the "nearly 20%" that you have in your statement at that top. Even accounting for statistical messups associated with illegal immigration making the numbers hard to figure out, I don't think it would come out to nearly 20% (maybe I'm wrong). Your other research that I've glanced at looks very in-depth, so I'm sure you had attention to accuracy. I'd have to give some thought as to the issues more in-depth, but it's clear that you've given a lot of attention to the matter. >especially, > >http://energy.saving.nu/california/victim.shtml > >and > >http://peakdemand.energy.saving.nu/ >http://fastfixes.energy.saving.nu/ > >and you will find some data. > >It is quite interesting and you can see what I was pointing out >earlier. > >Hakan > > >At 11:49 PM 1/25/2003 -0800, you wrote: >>You know, while it may be true that Californians have practiced and >>studied some good conservation principles, I also think David has a >>point.
