((Temperatures rising ..California power officials
put residents on notice that rolling blackouts could sweep as early as

Temperatures have soared a few days before the start of summer ..and power-hungry air-conditioners are cranking up again.Conservation could be the only thing that keeps the lights on ..but California avoided a potential disaster when the power grid corrected a problem with generators.
Stephanie McKorkle/CAL-ISO Spokesperson
"We did have two of those units trip off line. But we had most of that generation return to service. And the import picture is looking better. So what that means is: we should be able to avoid electricity emergency today."
Meantime Democrats have attacked Republicans for producing television
ads that blame Governor Gray Davis. The ads say Davis ignored the
warnings and turned a problem into a crisis.
Hes pointing fingers and blaming others. Gray Davis says hes not
responsible for Californias energy crisis.
Democrats say President Bush and Republicans in Washington have consistently fought plans to deal with the energy crisis on the West
Coast.
In Washington DC, a federal energy commission is taking up proposals to ease electricity prices. The group agreed to expand electricity price
limits in California to include ten other Western states ..and cover sales outside periods of power emergencies. President Bush has said
hell support these less-stringent limits...he's come out firmly against price controls.
PRESIDENT BUSH:
"Price controls do not solve the problem."
CHRIS LAWRENCE/CBS NEWS:
But now Democrats control the senate. And they intend to make energy
costs a key issue. Some have already called for absolute price caps for electricity sales to the West Coast. Chris Lawrence CBS News Los Angeles.))

actually from the States.
THESE CHARACTERS LIVE IN THE COMPUTER CREATED WORLD OF
GORILLAZ.COM....THE SITE BRINGS YOU INTO THEIR

SO YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT EACH OF THEIR
PERSONALITIES.
Damon Albarn: Through Murdoc we can pretty much say
whatever we want and through Russel's ability to
summon up spirits we can work with whoever we want.
THE BAND IS SO POPULAR IN THE UK AND ON THE WEB, YOU'D THINK THEY WERE
