I know we have limited time, but just in closing, I want to say that California is building 14 electrical generation plants now. Under our prior Republican governor, we built not one, but the private sector was not trying to build plants in our State until last year. We need help only in the form of being allowed to go back to the regulation system that we had before. We do not need billions of aid from the rest of the country, but we need the ropes untied from our hands.
