President Bush today will meet with California Governor Gray Davis but won't have much to offer to prevent the state from experiencing power outages this sumer.

Davis wants a price cap on the wholesale price of electricity. Bush opposes any federal intervention in a problem he views as the state's.

Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham has ordered the Western Area Power Administration to speed up plans for increasing the transmission capacity of California's power system.
