Gang:

I'm finalizing what we talked about yesterday and something struck me w.r.t.
siting reform.

One of our key messages in California and nationally is that price spikes are
due in no small part to outmoded, arcane siting rules and a shortage of power
as a result. Price spikes have led to wholesale and retail price caps,
investigations, utility under-recovery, and threats of rolling back
de-regulation, to name a few.

Understanding that Dave raises some good points about why he's not thrilled
about getting involved in more siting reform bills, could someone argue that
from a corporate objective, getting a good siting reform bill passed this
session is a fairly high priority? I'm not sure what the answer is, but it
struck me as I was pretty-ing up the document and I thought I'd put it out
there for reaction.

Best,
Jeff
