I was living in CA during the energy crisis. It certainly seemed then that the Bush administration was telling the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to sit on it's hands, as that was the Federal agency tasked with dealing with such price gouging and manipulation across state lines. Bush had spent $20 million in CA and lost to Gore there, who spent zero in CA. Cheney then insisted on keeping his Energy Task Force meetings secret. The fallout ended Davis's career and launched Arnold's. Maybe someday we'll know..

Baker was the real leader of Reliant, but not in title. He had too many other jobs he didn't want to quit. He really runs Carlyle Group too. Much of his power is unofficial but rests in the fact that he helped put Bush in office and is the family's personal counsel. Baker is part of a shadow government centered around carlyle Group which highly influences Cheney-Bush policy and expenditures. Others in that group are Bectel, Halliburton, Chevron and Merrill Lynch. Plus the entire energy industry, all polluters, timber interests, HMO's, drug companies, weapons companies etc. etc.
