Ugh. Slocum admits he could be wrong. "I don't know all the facts because I can't get to it -- but we need Congress to investigate," he says. "There were key members of congress and the Bush administration that assisted Enron in its ability to do this. We need them to tell us what they know. And it starts with Wendy Gramm." Do what? What did Bush admin do? Put a cap on electric prices? The high prices were because the utilities were bankrupt and couldn't pay their bills. If I was Enron, I would not have sold California any power, except if it was COD. They still are owed billions.

mayyyybe the suppliers were actually gouging. Especially the LADWP, whose director now is energy czar in CA. So many crooks, so little accountability. BTW the crisis was first spoken of in April of 2000. High prices were being felt in the winter of 2000. Jan. 2001 was the month of really big "gouging" so we're supposed to believe Bush's election was somehow a green light for larceny. Probably Clinton's pardoning of drug dealers and Puerto Rican terrorists got all the headlines and notice and Bush slipped in under the radar.
