...peak demand during the winter. If the state can manage that period - and it already did OK during this morning's peak -things should be fine. But everyone cautions that in this tight a market, one problem - like another plant unexpectedly going down - could throw everything else out the window. Still, by 2 p.m. on the West Coast today, state officials were hoping to have a "boring weekend."
