Patricia, re:"WIth the slowness upon which all legalities move it was obvious that the Bush administration would be handling the decisions" That didn't stop President Clinton from a number of 11th hour Executive Orders (from increasing Federally Protected Lands to drinking water standards). Why not an 11th hour fix of CA's energy crisis-all he need to do is declare that a State of Emergency existed in CA. I seem to recall some other 11th hour decisions that the President made were hard to justify, even for supporters. You should realize that the first vote Ken Lay's "choice" for the FERC job, was to place a max $90/MWHr cap on electric power. This is about 1/3 of the cap that was in place in 2000. I'm sure this was clearly not the vote Ken Lay had in mind. re:"Lay interviewed everyone for the FERC job after CLinton's man was fired" Patricia, who are you referring to as "Clinton's man who was fired"? If you are mean the former FERC Chairman Hebert (a Republican, and strong Free Market guy), my guess is that Governor Davis is glad he is gone. re:"After the defection of Jeffords from the Republican party MY STATE HAD NO MORE BLACKOUTS" One could also say, that there have been no blackouts in CA after there was a Republican majority on the FERC. Have you considered that the turmoil in the Senate, may held up approval of President Bush's FERC appointees for a month or two?
