Karen,

Californians were underestimated..........our Gov called their bluff and Jeffords left the Republican Party which put some balance back into our gov't........not much but at least the Republicans didn't have all the power. Senate investigations could be instituted with a Democratic majority there.

Californians conserved well over 10% of the energy usage so the need dropped and so did the price. Enron was betting that Ca would be stuck paying exorbitant prices.......LOL THey guessed wrong. There never was an energy crisis.....just a crisis for energy companies and their need to overcharge us........the energy crisis was Enron's bet and they lost! LOL

I do feel sorry for the innocent investors who thought they were an honest company but they should have known better than to trust any of Dubya's friends. Ken Lay of Enron was just following George Bush's example in Harken Energy company when he sold all his shares before the other shareholders could get out. Go to Yahoo and look up Enron's insider trading. Ken Lay dumped 2.8 million shares at the end of last Aug!!!!!!
