She referred to the successful energy supply system in Pennsylvania, which has deregulation that is successful. She felt the reason for this is because it has continued to build power plants and there is no shortage of power. She objected to the environmentalists who want to come into people's homes and require them to have energy saving devices. She did not believe Pleasanton needed "power police".
