  26-08-2018 22:30 via ocregister.com
  
  California has long been a leader when it comes to electricity policy, but not always in a good way. Two decades ago, the state restructured its electrical markets as part of a then-nationwide trend toward deregulation.

  Logic might have suggested when Evanescence leader Amy Lee had her first child, a son named Jack, three years ago, that motherhood would have meant she would step back from music to some degree.
  After all, raising an infant is a major, time-consuming effort in itself, and being a parent is bound to shift priorities away from one’s vocation and toward family life.
