As part of a flurry of bill signings, Governor Schwarzenegger approved a smart grid measure (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_0001-0050/sb_17_bill_20091011_chaptered.pdf) that calls upon the state's Public Utilities Commission to come up with a plan for a state-wide smart grid deployment by July of next year (the bill's passage was spotted (http://green.venturebeat.com/2009/10/27/california-quietly-passes-first-statewide-smart-grid-law/) by Green Beat).

So does this, in addition to Jp Morgan and Goldman Sachs setting up a carbon credit exchange, mean that these folks expect Cap and Trade to be passed soon?

Rhetorical question, BTW. It's clear that they are going to get what they want by any means necessary.
