The idea is to advance reasoned debate < with < top academics and top policy makers, using jargon-free language the general < public can follow. I work for an independent electric market analysis group < in < the Mid-Atlantic area, and my goal here is to follow the policy school's < reputation for independent and careful analysis to challenge the views of < the < many various emotionally and politically motivated advocates. We have no < preconceived agenda other than trying to objectively advance public policies < that benefit the public. The school and a few of the top economists in the < field are very interested in this idea. I've read your articles on the < subject < in the Chronicle and our hope is that you will find such a forum useful and < newsworthy. What do you think? We would try to make it suit your needs if < you < have opinions on the timing, forum, and speakers. < Rob < < Rob Gramlich < Sr. Economist < PJM Market Monitoring Unit < (610) 666-4291 < gramlr@pjm.com
