Government "agencies" are a THOUSAND Enrons, never being corrected by a free market, and compounding their corruption and devastating economic effects with each passing decade. Compared to that, Enron was a cockroach, scurrying through a rat-infested social-welfare tyranny...

Price caps were lifted in 96. Gray Davis complained to President Clinton about being gouged (and asked for help) in August of 2000 (around the 2000 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles). By the time the Bush Administration was sworn in, 2 (of the 3) major CA Electric Utilities were in some form of default with creditors. Probably the first votes made by the FERC Commissioners appointed by President Bush (43), was to put a firm < $100/MWHR cap on electric power (untill late May 2000, all the FERC Commissioners were Clinton Appointees - today, half the Commissioners were Clinton Appointees, and half are Bush Appointees).
