The first one we did was, nearly two weeks ago now, looking at the regulation of electricity in California.
We have four separate agencies regulating electricity.
the Public Utilities Commission, the Energy Commission, something called CAISO, the Independent Service Operating, and CARB, the Air Resources Board.
If you look at it on a per capita basis,
California has 35 times the number of bureaucrats regulating electricity as other states, 35 times the number, just the numbers of people.
The cost of that is $1.2 billion before you even generate any electricity.
So we obviously, there's massive scope to merge them, that's what we've proposed, to massively scale back these agencies.
You can zero out their budgets or reduce them to very little.
Yes, they can override that with a veto in the legislature.
There hasn't been an override of a governor's veto since the 1980s in California.
It's actually kind of a tough thing to do because as the governor, you've got the platform.
They then have to defend it.
And so if you're really aggressive and you're well-prepared, and I'm both of those things, I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but I think the real learning point for me from what happened in the UK was you've got to be ferocious about this.
Yeah, for the winner.
I know Arnold well.
I've known him for years, yeah.
Not recently, but we will.
We know each other well, and I know his team very well.
Do you have a relationship with Newsome as well?
I do know Kevin, yeah.
