The situation is so dire that the state recently instituted an energy emergency, which gives the system's administrator the right to black out houses on a rotating basis for an hour at a time. Added to the fact that the state cannot supply enough power for its residence, the price of power has also risen dramatically. In San Diego, for example, the price of energy tripled this summer...

He woke up early Saturday, called communications director Karen Hughes around 6:30 and asked, "Have we won yet?" Aides briefed him on the state of play, and he shot off some e-mails before heading out. "I'll be at the ranch," he said to his aides. "Let me know what happens." Then he drove to Crawford, where he goes to clear his head, and the land around the new house, and not think about lawyers...
