RE: "The real reason: if Reliant has a credible threat that "we can shut you down" they can can extort higher prices. " --------------------------------------- Hi Windsock, Could you explain something for me: Isn't price collusion on utilities illegal? Do you know if high-tech has sufficient power to lobby against any type of price collusion by another industry sector? Who has jurisdiction over price collusion - Federal government or State government? RE: "recing demand" I didn't quite understand this part. I heard there's an investigation into the matter of price collusion, but I don't know the status. Do you? Regards, Amy J

Windsock, <Continue the Federal Energy Commission order that the generators must continue to sell power to CA until it has some time to get its act together.> At the expense of the power needs of states outside of CA. I see. What about long-term? I just saw on the news that Gov. Davis is speeding up construction of new power plants in CA. It's about time. Hope the NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) folks don't get in the way and continue to deny that the problem is real. Tenchusatsu
