Essay / Research Paper Abstract
10 pages in length. California has been faced with numerous social, political and economic issues over the past decade, but one can readily argue how none have had such a broad and far-reaching impact as the energy crisis, detrimentally impacting seemingly unrelated segments of society.

upon the states educational funding. As long as two years ago, the California Teachers Association (CTA) was knee deep in negotiation proceedings with the state Capitol in order to
"protect schools from shocks generated by Californias energy crisis" (Anonymous #2 PG). The very real threat of sky-high operating costs coupled with rolling blackouts interrupting typical learning sessions has
long spelled trouble for the vulnerable local level schools. From the states perspective, the perpetuating energy crisis is wholly responsible for the squeeze placed upon budget surplus originally earmarked for
such important issues as school-related legislation. It took no more than a months period of time back in 2001 for short-term power needs to deplete the ten billion dollar
