Bush-Cheney's Texas energy friends were indeed running the show then the gouging occured. The federal goverment has no direct control over the deregulated energy business when they decide to collude and gouge. Don't be naive. This was a concerted efffort to both gouge tens of billions and help Bush-Cheney by queering the economy and attacking California. We need to re-regulate the energy business. They cannot be trusted.

Sen Kerry on the campaign trail in Iowa He wrote to his local recruitment board seeking permission to spend a further 12 months studying in Paris, after completing his degree course at Yale University in the mid-1960s. The revelation appears to undercut Sen Kerry's carefully-cultivated image as a man who willingly served his country in a dangerous war - in supposed contrast to President Bush, who served in the Texas National Guard and thus avoided being sent to Vietnam. The Harvard Crimson newspaper followed a youthful Mr Kerry in Boston as he campaigned for Congress for the first time in 1970. In the course of a lengthy article, "John Kerry: A Navy Dove Runs for Congress", published on February 18, the paper reported: *"When he approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry decided to enlist in the Navy."* ..contd at news.telegraph.co.uk
