The satisfaction of helping is immeasurable. Thank you and bless you for your compassion for animals. Our Oregon Legislature is in the luxurious position to watch the power crisis in California and learn by our neighbor s mistake. Power deregulates in Oregon on Oct. 1 of this year. I commend Rep. Robert Ackerman, who has introduced a bill to postpone deregulation activities for five years, and Sen. Tony Corcoran for his measure that would repeal deregulation in Oregon altogether.
Deregulation is all about money.
It is about selling power across state boundaries where you can reap higher profits. It is about trading power as a commodity. Unfortunately, this all falls apart when demand exceeds supply. I worked for PacifiCorp for 27 years and then started my own energy consulting company. What people want is a firm energy source and reasonable prices.
