davidd, Re: Why do they Hate America so? Maybe it's the dishonesty? nytimes.com <Snip> In the middle of 2000, on the eve of the California energy crisis, Enron (news/quote) was making increasingly large bets that electricity prices in the state would increase, according to Enron records cited by a California state senator leading an investigation into the state's power crisis. The state senator, Joseph Dunn, is scheduled to testify Thursday in Washington before a United States Senate Commerce Committee hearing that will examine whether Enron manipulated power prices in California in 2000 and 2001, contributing to a surge in electricity prices that pushed California into a fiscal crisis. Soon after the crisis began, California officials began accusing Enron and other energy companies of artificially causing shortages. <End Snip> What do you think?
