The chance of Clinton making a major energy policy change after the election but before the transition was slim to none. Was he too busy doing interns? He was still President. He found time to pardon a bunch of crooks. the white knight came in the form of Gray Davis and he pushed the price manipulation out of the picture by just buying a whole bunch of years worth of futures contracts. At ruinous prices that drove a very healthy state budget surplus into a very nasty deficit and now have come home to roost, forcing budget cuts. You heard about those, yes? Davis picked up the ball and went home with it. It no longer mattered what price caps Cheney would or would not support, it didn't matter if Enron used the Raptor or the Death Star tactic because California wasn't playing the game and the racketeers had no other pidgeon. No wonder you have such problems! You know nothing about even elementary economics. Hint: Buying energy from energy companies at horribly inflated prices DOES NOT make them poor; it makes them even richer! Which is exactly what happened. If those contracts were such good deals for the state, why did the state want to abrogate them? Yes? Your stupidity is getting boring. Why don't you go play on the freeway?
