Wasn't California in a similar mess 20 years ago when government regulation at the time also put PG&E in the position

third parties could do to it.

That, among other things, cost Gray Davis the governorship. He was recalled and Arnold Schwarzenegger elected.
The campain was called "total recall". Sacramento, home of the Governator.

That being said, I'm not sure we can call the mess similar. Ways back when, the political issue was about supply.
