A crisis has occurred 5 1/2 months into the year 2000. This has occurred because of low fuel supplies. The governor has raised taxes because of the fuel shortages. The alert stages have been fluctuating. First it was a stage 1 alert, then 2, 3, down to 2, then 3. Could saving electricity be the solution? Go to our guestbook to send us what you think the solution is. There have been rolling blackouts throughout California. On Feb. 21, 2001, Gray Davis met with PG&E and SDG&E to discuss transmission systems. This is a big crisis, when is it going to end?
