The LA Times website features a comprehensive special section on the California energy crisis.

Fred Keeley's website contains updated information on the bills aimed at increasing California's supply of clean electricity and reducing electricity demand through energy efficient measures:

Keeley advocates the use of photovoltaic (PV) on the roofs of public and private buildings this summer to increase their energy efficiency. As long ago as 1839, French scientist Edmund Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect – that light falling on certain materials can produce electricity – but for reasons outlined in Keeley's speech, this process has not been adopted for mainline consumption.

New technologies improving the energy conversion efficiency of PV cells are currently being tested; a worthwhile investment, many argue, as PV power systems are easy to operate, rarely need maintenance, and do not pollute the environment.
