(Why does that document look like it was cranked out on a broken typewriter from GoodWill?) "Two separate studies tell us that deregulation of electricity markets could save us $60-80 billion a year -- the equivalent of an $800 tax refund for every family in the country." Page 3 tells me no one was losing money before deregulation. Not the state of California. Not the utilities who owned generation plants themselves. Wow... My work is done.

portage, Skilling's shillings were quite slickly worded. Pretty good for a guy who can't seem to recall a thing before Congress these days and who tells us he understands nothing about accounting. -R.

Cogentrix -- CoGen Tricks Hi portage, Something of a local note from here in Central Oregon. A new natural gas fired generation station is proposed that ships it's power down the BPA DC intertie, and the profits to Raleigh-Durham. A classic NIMBY-BANANA battle is brewing. I'll be attending the meeting tomorrow evening. I'll report back to the thread if anything interesting pops up..... except the cost of power, a given. stopcogentrix.tripod.com Cheerio!
