The hoover dam has been down over 100 feet in recent years they can't run it wide open because there isn't enough water coming into the dam. The hoover dam probably hasn't been ran at full capacity for a long period of time since the 90's.
California is getting screwed because like red point said they have the 6th most expensive power in the US.
Then California is going to buy the cheapest power in the United States and by the time the bureaucracy sells it to the customer it's nearly the most expensive power in the lower 48.
What did you actually think California was going to buy cheap wind power and pass that savings on to the customer? Ha, no thats not how socialism works.
The power companies out here in TX and NM have been working since 2007 or 2008 to get the Texas and south west grids interconnected so they could sell power to California.
