"And I did tell him if we have to pay $50 billion for power, it could
trigger a recession in California, which could drag down the American
economy into a recession as well."

"Energy debates sometimes throw off sparks."
Earlier in San Diego, President Bush said he won't cap the prices energy
wholesalers can charge for power.
(SOT BUSH)
"Rising energy prices are a challenge for everyone. I believe you'll
find my tax relief plan will provide some help."
A plan that didn't go over with these protesters.

"Enron's President! Not our President! Big Oil's President!"
Governor Davis told President Bush he will sue the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission for failing to cap energy prices. But President
Bush agreed to send the commissioner to California to examine
disparities in natural gas prices.
(SOT DAVIS)
"The president did agree it made little sense for California to receive
Texas natural gas at $15 btu, when New York receives that same gas for
$5.95."
