"We're going to march on Washington with a host of Republicans, Democrats, business leaders, legislators."
"So it was flawed in that it didn't require California to have a first claim on the power plants. It deregulated part of the market, but not all of the market."
"Why? Because we're very well down this process as it is - flawed as it is - and we're counting on getting more power plants on line by the end of 2003 so we have a surplus of power."
"There are so many scenarios here. We tried to prepare for the worst summer in 40 years and build assumptions based on that. We're preparing for the worst, but we're hoping for the best. And I've told people the end is in sight."
"Well, there's no question that the law passed in 1996 was flawed. It deregulated the wholesale market, meaning the price that the utilities had to pay energy companies for power, but not the retail market."
