SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California electricity consumers could see up to $2 billion in new refunds from energy wholesalers that profited during the state's energy crisis more than a dozen years ago if a federal judge's recommendation holds up at trial, state regulators said Thursday. The California Public Utilities Commission called the rulings this week from the U.S. Court of Claims in Washington, D.C., a tremendous victory for a state that saw power prices spike to extraordinary heights amid the rolling blackouts of 2000-2001. The state bought billions of dollars' worth of electricity at the time just to keep the lights on. ''The winds of justice and recompense are blowing in Washington,'' Frank Lindh, general counsel for the commission, said a statement issued Thursday. ''Consumers, agriculture and industry all suffered terrible economic harm during the energy crisis. We look forward to the day when these cases can be laid to rest, once and for all.'' The judge found Tuesday that Portland, Ore. -based Bonneville Power Administration and Lakewood, Colo.based Western Area Power Administration sold energy at inflated prices. The court will set the exact amount the two agencies owe the state at a June 3 trial. The rulings come on the heels of another decision issued in February by an administrative law judge at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, who found roughly a dozen private sector companies also were liable for refunds of up to $1 billion. The FERC is expected decide on that case later this year. In total, the refunds could yield the state roughly $3 billion, the California Public Utilities Commission said. parking lot of Latimer's Pharmacy around 4 p.m. Wednesday while Angela Lucas, 19, attempted to break up the fight, according to a Tehama County Sheriff's Department press release issued Thursday morning.

Charles Lucas was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and booked at Tehama County Jail with bail set at $41,000. All subjects refused medical attention.

Such counties, including Butte, Tehama and Plumas, used the federal money for schools, roads and law enforcement.

Agenda Items • The council authorized the purchase and installation of new pump drive hardware for Reeds Creek Pump Station's three pumps.

Since 2006, the law has been extended. Hastings' bill would extend the Safe Rural Schools law "to allow counties to transition back to payments from active forest management," according to the release. The bill requires timber projects to meet the standards of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act while a report with Red Bluff Police.

(AP) — The federal government on Thursday recommended that all four aging hydroelectric dams be removed from the Klamath River in southern Oregon and Northern California to help struggling wild salmon runs, and nearly $1 billion should be spent on environmental restoration. The final environmental impact statement making those recommendations was posted on a U.S. Department of Interior website. However, whether that will ever happen remains in doubt. Legislation authorizing the secretary of Interior to approve dam removal and appropriating $800 million for restoration work have not gained any traction in Congress. As one of his last acts before leaving office, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar called on Congress to take action, saying that removing the dams and implementing the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement are important components of finding a solution to the basin's water problems. ''Once again, the communities of the Klamath Basin are facing a potentially difficult water year under a status quo that everyone agrees is broken,'' Salazar said in a statement. ''We need a comprehensive solution addressing all the needs of the Klamath Basin, including fisheries, agriculture, (wildlife) refuges, and power.'' Battles over how to share scarce water between farms and protected fish reached a head in 2001, when drought forced the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to shut off water to a federal irrigation project straddling the Oregon-California border in an effort to provide water for endangered sucker fish in the project's main reservoir. Salmon in the Klamath River were also threatened. The next year, the Bush administration restored irrigation, but tens of thousands of adult salmon died when they returned to a river with low and warm water levels. In 2010, Indian tribes, farmers, salmon fishermen and conservation groups ended a century of fighting over water by signing historic agreements calling for the sharing of water in dry years and the removal of four dams to open up hundreds of miles of salmon habitat shut off for a century.
