Al Green said "The reason this is not a problem in other States is that no other State has come to the FERC or the Federal Government to ask for assistance like California has. But in looking at the problem in California, it seemed the disparity in the pipelines, and these are not to scale, the gentleman was right, I was a business major, not an engineer, but it will show the disparity between what pipelines coming to the California border and what leaves the California border to serve intrastate. There is a great disparity. Providing more pipelines would go a long way to solving the problem in California. That is all this amendment would do. People would then come to FERC instead of going to California PUC." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
