California is the largest dairy State in the Union. Let me read a brief quote from the Dairy Coalition of Concerned Energy Consumers. As the number one-ranking dairy producing state in the nation, the California dairy industry uses substantial quantities of natural gas to run its processing plants. Between December 1999 and December 2000 the cost of gas to dairy plants in California increased 4,000%. Our paramount concern is the dramatic increase in the non-commodity portion of the price of gas.
