Kevin, I think that you perceive the HS.com trading platform as a means for retail customers (consumers) to buy their residential power and other energy needs. Is my assessment correct? I don't see it that way at all. The "platform" is geared for use by suppliers, refineries, utilities, municipalities, large industrial users, and resellers of all of the above, as well as for general market speculative activities, allowing the major players in those industries to shuttle boatloads of energy resources around the world before it ever gets to the outlet or consumption levels. It doesn't trickle down to "us" until it's been stepped on a half-dozen times. And then the tax people have their say, too. I may be missing something, but that's how I see the platform being used. It's a commodities market vehicle. Corrections welcome. Frank
