California Power Issue

See attached WSJ article, particularly the last paragraph. The message is:
there has not been enough deregulation; the government is still very much in
the way. California is a perfect example: the market has responded to
demand increases with thousands of megawatts of new generation, but state and
local officials have not sited them, and companies like Enron are offering
price protection, but utilities are not allowed to take advantage.

Subject: California Power Issue

Attached is an article about deregulation, price volatility, California power
issues and how EES and other energy management type of companies are helping
with solve these problems.

Attached is an article about how PG&E is offering incentives to its larger
customers in California that which asks them to use less energy, in turn the
customers are guaranteed to be blackout free. There is a little controversy
over this issue because the incentive is not offered to small business or
residents.
