Another good post on EP from Yahoo. From the latest brief from EPNG on the FERC ruling: messages.yahoo.com I especially like several points you've made in your ID brief: + California firm capacity stepdowns in range of 1.5 Bcf/d since 1996. + Trying to remarket CA relinquished capacity simply was business common sense & prudent, and citing Socal Edison's own statements pushing for that. + Complaintants "withheld" capacity whining primarily INTERRUPTIBLE transportation. (unless I misconstrued this). + Using PGT's own protestation about operating at MAOP was an especially elegant twist. + Pointing out California parties didn't want/ couldn't take up EPNG's repeated offers to use loan gas (to make up their own third party supply shortfalls). + Second guessing operational decisions by obviously inadequate, uninformed agenda-driven complaintants to back into a predetermined conclusion by whatever means necessary. + Fundamental California problem of inadequate intrastate energy infrastructure. I hope at long last this process at least serves to slap some reality into the CPUC/ California so they will cut out their preferred mode of dealing with problems: denying culpability and using slander/litigation instead. SHAME on the FERC ALJ for aiding and abetting them. CPUC/California - beg, borrow or steal some common sense and decency and use all this litigation expense you are instigating and just sign up for the interstate capacity you need once and for all. Your negligence, ineptitude and just downright poor business sense is screwing the whole energy sector.
