At the time that AB 1890 was enacted, however, it was widely expected that the utilities' wholesale power costs would decline, and that the difference between their operating costs and the frozen rates would contribute to the utilities' collection of their transition costs.
On occasion, the ISO has not purchased sufficient electricity to cover the net short position, resulting in flouts in PG&E's service territory, as was the case on March 19-20, 2001 and January 17-18, 2001.
The company said it is taking this action in light of its unreimbursed energy costs which are now increasing by more than $300 million per month, continuing CPUC decisions that economically disadvantage the company, and the now unmistakable fact that negotiations with Governor Gray Davis and his representatives are going nowhere.

 Pacific Dining Car - Our History
It was the heyday of the "Red Car." Henry Huntington's Pacific Electric Company ambitiously laid tracks all over Southern California, boasting over 1,200 miles of railways by the mid-twenties.
It was just a short jaunt uptown, to 6th and Witmer, but in such uncertain times, with the feverish exchange of any scrap of property, those steel wheels were reassuring insurance against "lost-our-lease." It was a relatively simple matter to pack up everything and move to any other convenient location.
Grace Cook, fiercely independent as she was, finally had to concede to the frailties that one's 80's can bring, and shared her remaining years with her daughter and son-in-law.
