Gray Davis Quotes
As the governor of this state, I obviously see the issue quite differently. - Gray Davis Quotes
Duke came to us. They volunteered to come to us and made a number of suggestions to some people on my staff. I dont know how I would characterize them, but there have been some discussions going back and forth between Duke and members of my staff. - Gray Davis Quotes
Here is my general approach to the energy companies. You have already charged the utilities a 50 percent credit penalty for the power they were buying from you. Youre charging us a penalty. Youre not going to get two bites of the apple here. - Gray Davis Quotes
I dont know if I would do this if I had to start over again. - Gray Davis Quotes
I dont know why theyre doing it. I have to assume that their motives are positive, not negative. But they dont understand the severity of the problem in this state. - Gray Davis Quotes
I have not been briefed. - Gray Davis Quotes
I know that Duke made a number of demands, including that the attorney general drop its investigation. We have no intention of asking the attorney general to do that. - Gray Davis Quotes
Im doing my part, building plants at a record rate, having historic conservation levels. The only people not doing their part is the federal government that is siding with the energy companies against the interests of the people of California. - Gray Davis Quotes
If that initiative were to pass, investment would be withheld, and it would take years and years longer before we had a surplus of power. - Gray Davis Quotes
Meanwhile, people have to join us and fight back against the federal government that has dropped the ball, that is in bed with these energy companies, that wants them to make more money than theyve made before. - Gray Davis Quotes
Now, in the space of a year, weve spent 450 percent more for power than we did the year before, and bought essentially the same amount of power. This year, that numbers likely to go up. That cant go on forever and have us continue to be the economic engine for America. - Gray Davis Quotes
So it was flawed in that it didnt require California to have a first claim on the power plants. It deregulated part of the market, but not all of the market. - Gray Davis Quotes
There are so many scenarios here. We tried to prepare for the worst summer in 40 years and build assumptions based on that. Were preparing for the worst, but were hoping for the best. And Ive told people the end is in sight. - Gray Davis Quotes
There is only one governor, and his name is Gray Davis. - Gray Davis Quotes
Theres no question that California, in the last three or four years, has been privileged to add disproportionately to the economic growth of America, and to contribute to its technological productivity. - Gray Davis Quotes
Theyre the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and they will not do that. They will not pull the trigger. - Gray Davis Quotes
We believe you will not have to pay more than the current rate structure proposes - which is, for 50 percent of the public, nothing; for another 25 percent, only a 10 percent increase; and for the remaining 25 percent, a 34 percent increase. - Gray Davis Quotes
We started focusing on this in earnest late summer and early fall. I can build more power plants. In the 12 years before us, not a single plant of major consequence was built. - Gray Davis Quotes
Well have a public power authority, which will also have the ability to build power or finance power. And more importantly, well have more power than our economy provides. All of that will give us leverage we dont have today. - Gray Davis Quotes
Were going to march on Washington with a host of Republicans, Democrats, business leaders, legislators. - Gray Davis Quotes
Were not going to take this sitting down. We are fighting back. - Gray Davis Quotes
Well, theres no question that the law passed in 1996 was flawed. It deregulated the wholesale market, meaning the price that the utilities had to pay energy companies for power, but not the retail market. - Gray Davis Quotes
Well, were trying to patch and fix and put a cast on a broken system here. You can call it what you want, but well continue to purchase power in a private market. - Gray Davis Quotes
Why? Because were very well down this process as it is - flawed as it is - and were counting on getting more power plants on line by the end of 2003 so we have a surplus of power. - Gray Davis Quotes
