Advisor to the Secretary
US Department of Energy

Joe -

Attached please find our thoughts on California solutions.

In the short-term, California must provide support to the Utilities to
maintain reliablity (as they are doing with CDWR purchases). In the
longer-term, California must increase supply and reduce demand, as well as
bring retail rates in line with the cost of a reasonable portfolio of
electricity supply.

Hope this helps. If you need anything, please feel free to call me at
