		According to Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel McFadden, the electricity crisis is a result of "rigid regulation of retail prices in the face of rapid increases in wholesale prices." The difference between the retail price and the wholesale price (the price utilities pay for electricity) caused the utility companies to accumulate a $14 billion debt.
		While 61 percent of electricity in the rest of the United States comes from coal and nuclear power, and 29 percent from natural gas and hydroelectric, California's fuel is 75 percent natural gas and hydro, 15 percent nuclear and 0 percent coal.
		Another factor: California's electricity demand increased 24 percent over five years; but the state has not built any new power plants in 10 years.
