Mirant getting cash burn down.

Mirant is urgently taking actions to get their
cash burn rate down. They don't want to throw
away hundred's of millions of dollars in investments
on power plants that are 70-90% complete and about
to come online this year and next so those costs,
and they are quite substantial, are still going
forward. Obviously, to not go forward would not
make logical/financial sense, and would raise one
heck of a red flag that these guys are in deeper
doo-doo than anyone realized. Mirant is looking
at selling off or closing their European trading
operations, laying off people in their Atlanta
headquarters, etc. We'll see.

Good luck. Peter.
