He is one of the few people in the United States with the background and the chutzpah for such a critical mission. And since he is a public power person, he won't sell the state out to the energy cartel. If Davis does the things we have outlined, he will infuriate Wall Street, Montgomery Street, and Wilshire Boulevard. And he will become a hero to the millions of forgotten Californians whose interests have been trampled on.

The alternative to public power is to turn the state over to the tender mercies of the Confederate Cartel, which has already established a consortium to bid on the state's transmission system. Davis, according to most insider reports, would like to be president of the United States. But campaign funds won't be enough. To win reelection as governor in 2002, he will have to fight the energy cartel and promote a public power solution to the crisis.
