Buddy, Wasn't worth much to Enron, that's for sure. The "hand picked" FERC Chairman wasn't nominated by the President till April 30, 2001, wasn't approved by the Senate till late May 2001, and didn't become Chairman till August 14, 2001 - after the crisis over. The two previous chairmen (who presided during the CA Energy Crisis) were both originally Clinton Appointees - One a Democrat, the other a Republican. Note - the crisis began in late May 2000. re: "How about getting to hand-pick the FERC head? What's that 'worth'?"
