Synopsis
An investigative look at the California energy crisis. Through interviews with state and federal officials, power company executives, and average citizens affected by the crisis, the documentary examines whether power companies and energy trading giants have capitalized on deregulation to make tremendous profits even as ratepayers suffer power shortages and exorbitant rate hikes. Also investigates why the federal government refused to intervene in the California crisis and explores what actions the new Bush administration will take to address what the President is now calling a national crisis.
