Why not wait until we get RTO West formed and then argue that the rest should be consolidated into it? If we try to argue that California should join Desert Star it would be sort of like the tail wagging the dog and I would be concerned that California would try to take over. Besides with RTO West, we have an organization that at least one Federal Power Marketer has said they could join.

If FERC were to decertify the CAISO and order the CA utilities to join a regional RTO, I believe that DSTAR, the California IOUs and the CAISO infrastructure/staff/systems could easily merge and be up and running as a large Desert Southwest + California RTO before the end of the year. This was basically what I had been trying to achieve last summer when I was facilitating talks between CAISO and DSTAR parties about merging the two. Why not lobby for that as the FERC-preferred solution to the state's illegal takeover of CAISO governance?
