 * Cavazos, Roberto J. and Terry F. Buss. “Electric Industry Restructuring: An Overview of** **the Policy Issues.” __Review of Policy Research__ 20.2 (Summer 2003): 203-217.**

The authors, professors at the School of Policy and Management at Florida International University, use the crisis associated with deregulation of California’s electric industry to illustrate the problems that can arise when electricity is deregulated. The authors argue that California’s experience should not discourage efforts to deregulate the electric industry and that California made some major mistakes that should be avoided by others in the future. The authors are clearly proponents of deregulation which may, to a certain point, discredit their arguments. (Katie Ertmer) -- The California Energy Commission today announced the launch of the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS). Tihs system is the largest of its kind and the main function is to register and track electricity generation in the western United States, parts of Canada, and a portion of Baja California. This system will help California meets its goal of 20% renewable energy by 2010.
