Hadn't really thought about that. In each contract, counterparty reps and
warrants that it physically handles each commodity on which an option is
traded (tracking "trade option" regulatory language), and all r&w's are
deemed repeated each time a new transaction is entered into.
The law requires that on offeror have a "reasonable basis" to believe that
offeree is physically handling, so traders/marketers in the ag area must be
trained to not ignore obvious indications that an ag counterparty is no
longer in the business of physically moving a given ag commodity. Such
indications should be reported to legal department.
This will be of heightened concern in the ag area. With other commodities,
if the counterparty doesn't handle, or stops handling the commodity, we can
always argue that we are the "offeree" and we are physically handling. Until
we are physically handling ag commodities, though, we will always have to
rely on the counterparty being a physical merchant in order to trade options

Jeanne, I understand from Keith Melville that you were looking for
various pieces of SDG&E's May 18, 2001 filing in our Revenue Shortfall
Surcharge Application (A.00-10-045/A.01-01-044). I have included in the
attached note the entire SDG&E filing. Hopefully, you will be able to find
in the package the information/data you are seeking. Recognize that there
were some corrections made on the stand by some of the witnesses. I would
recommend that you check the transcript for those corrections.
Also, Keith tells me you also wanted a copy of Exhibit #38. Jim Hay
will send it to you in a separate e-mail.
Please let us know, if you need further documents in this
proceeding. Have a great day!

Attached is the first of three emails with SDG&E's filing updating the DWR
revenue requirements. The following is an excerpt from our pleading. In
the next email are scenarios that show DWR surcharge (cents per kWh for
system, large customers, and small customers) under assumptions requested
by the ALJ.
Thanks especially to Ed Fong, Mohamed Derbas, Bill Saxe, Mike Strong, Keith
Melville, and Jeff Parrot for key assistance in getting this filing out in
one-day.
Based on this filing, the Commission may (we have no Proposed Decision yet)
rule as soon as August 23 on an increase to SDG&E rates of approximately
3-cents to recover the updated DWR revenue requirements.
If you have questions, please contact me, Lynn Van Wagenen, or Keith
Melville.
Excerpt of SDG&E pleading:
On August 15, 2001, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Wetzell issued an
"ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE'S RULING ON THE AUGUST 7, 2001 REVENUE REQUIREMENT
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES" directing San Diego Gas & Electric
Company (SDG&E) to produce updated estimates, including supporting analyses,
of the system average electric rate increases required based on the revised
revenue requirements determined by the Department of Water Resources' (DWR),
as set forth in the August 7, 2001 DWR communication to the California
Public Utilities Commission.

US Senate rejects California utility bankruptcy measure
By Patrick Connole
WASHINGTON, March 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Wednesday rejected a bid
to force California utility companies to repay power generators for
electricity they bought under a federal government sales order, even if
utilities go bankrupt.
In a motion on the Senate floor, lawmakers killed an amendment to a broader
bankruptcy reform bill that opponents said was a dangerous proposal that
would have opened the door to involuntary bankruptcy filings by troubled
California utilities. The utilities in question are PG&E Corp.'s (NYSE:PCG -
news) Pacific Gas & Electric and Edison International's (NYSE:EIX - news)
Southern California Edison.
The amendment was sponsored by Oregon Democrat Sen. Ron Wyden, Montana
Democrat Sen. Max Baucus and Oregon Republican Sen. Gordon Smith.
Proponents said the measure would have protected the customers of the
federally-owned Bonneville Power Administration and other Northwest utilities
from unfair rate increases due to the California energy crisis.
``I don't think it's fair for consumers in other Western states to get caught
holding the bag if California utilities take our power and then run into
bankruptcy court to avoid their debts,'' Wyden said.
``The Northwest has been more than a good neighbor to California during this
crisis,'' he said.
Interestingly, the California Senate delegation was split on the matter.
Democrat Dianne Feinstein opposed the amendment, while fellow Democrat
Barbara Boxer supported it.
Feinstein called the proposal a ``dangerous amendment'' that would create two
classes of creditors and ``probably force an involuntary bankruptcy.''
The broader bankruptcy reform bill is expected to be approved by the Senate
by the end of the week.
Separately, talks between California and its three investor owned utilities
on a deal under which the state might buy their transmission assets continued
this week with no deal in sight.
The state is negotiating with PG&E and Edison, along with Sempra Energy
(NYSE:SRE - news) unit San Diego Gas and Electric.
The deals are aimed mainly at pumping money into PG&E and SoCal Edison to
keep them out of bankruptcy after they recorded about $13 billion in red ink
since last spring, paying sky-high prices for power in the wholesale market.
PG&E and SoCal Edison, under the terms of the state's disastrous experiment
with market deregulation, have been able to pass on to their retail customers
only a fraction of their power purchase costs. | {

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED=20
Q. Should an investor be concerned if one or more officers of a=20
company sell shares of its stock that they own?=20
A. Although it may look like a red flag, it isn't necessarily=20
one. Many executives today receive a large part of their=20
compensation in stock options. So when they have to buy a house=20
or make a college tuition payment, they sell some shares. They=20
may also be trying to diversify their investments, not wanting=20
to have too much of their portfolio in one company.=20
On the other hand, one insider (or many insiders) selling might=20
indeed signal a loss of faith in the company. If you're worried,=20
you might want to take a closer look at the company's recent=20
performance. Perhaps fire up your computer and see what people=20
interested in the company are saying about it online, on message=20
boards.=20
Q. What does "insured by FDIC" mean, and what does it NOT=20
insure?=20
A. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) insures our=20
traditional checking, savings and money market accounts (as well=20
as CDs) held at banks and thrifts for up to $100,000. Note,=20
though, that the FDIC does not cover stocks, bonds, mutual=20
funds, life insurance policies, annuities and the like. For=20
these, check with your financial service company to see what=20
kind of insurance may be provided.=20

-----------------------------------------------------------------
THIS WEEK'S LESSON=20
OPTIONS 101
Imagine you want to invest in Legume Gas Works (ticker: BEANZ).=20
You can buy shares the usual way -- or you can buy options.=20
Here's an introduction to options.=20
There are two main types: calls and puts. A call gives you the=20
right to buy a set amount of shares at a set price within a=20
certain period of time (often just a few months). For this=20
right, you pay a price premium. Puts are similar, but give you=20
the right to sell shares.=20
If Legume is selling for $50 per share and you expect it to=20
rise, you could buy "October $55" call options for it. Let's say=20
you snap up calls to buy 100 shares, for $6 each, or a total of=20
$600. If just before your options expire Legume is selling for=20
$65 per share, you can exercise your options and buy 100 shares=20
for $5,500. Then you can keep them or sell them for $6,500.=20
If you sell, you make a $1,000 profit, right? Nope. You paid=20
$600, remember? So your profit is down to $400 -- less, when you=20
account for trading commissions.=20
Options are risky. If Legume stays at $55 or falls, your $600=20
would be entirely lost. It has to top $61 per share -- $55 plus=20
$6 -- by October for you to profit.=20
Some folks like options because of the leverage they offer. They=20
point out that if you only have $1,000, you can only buy 20=20
shares of a $50 stock. Alternatively, that $1,000 could buy many=20
more options tied to hundreds of shares of stock. True enough.=20
With options, though, timing is critical. If things don't go=20
your way in a short-term time frame, your option will expire=20
worthless.=20
Most options expire unexercised and worthless. (Those most=20
likely to profit from options are the ones who "write" or sell=20
the options.) That's because options are really about buying=20
time, not stocks. If you're sure that Legume's stock will rise,=20
you're probably best off buying its stock. Then if it doesn't=20
behave as you expected it to, you can either sell the shares or=20
hang on patiently.=20
Options are not for beginning investors, and even more advanced=20
investors might consider steering clear.=20
You can read more about options at this Motley Fool FAQ.

Peter/Kay,
Attached is revised ESA Facility Agreement. This includes the Optional
Electric Output Guarantee for the Brazil site conditions. Since the spread
between the 8 unit average guarantee and the single unit is greater than in
the base contract the LD sample calc needed some work, which I took care of.
Kay/Kent,
I also took a swipe at the 17.4 Termination language rework. See if I what I
came up with works...if so, we can use on all other Facility Agreements.
I've added John Ayres to distribution. John and I will be reviewing the
contract Monday AM at 8:30 in his office. Kay, it would be good if you
could join us ...as we're in the home stretch. Also, can you send Peter the
remaining Exhibits he requested (B-1 and H-2).
thanks,

Olympian Status for U.S. Gas Market
Just so you'll know: "The natural gas market is a real success story. ...FERC
has gotten an enormous amount of things right. The market may not be
unblemished, but there are lots who consider the natural gas market the best
market in the world offering genuine price discovery on a daily basis across
dozens of products. It's something everyone should be proud of," Robert Levin
of the New York Mercantile Exchange told a FERC conference yesterday.
"The natural gas market has performed remarkably admirably through a range of
market conditions with hundreds, if not thousands of market participants,
using an extraordinary selection of market instruments," Levin continued,
adding that the Commission should be supporting the "growth and increased
sophistication of commerce. You're at that point now."
Warning against so-called solutions offered by some at the day-long
conference to increase liquidity or tie the natural gas market to the
electric market, Levin cautioned, "liquidity cannot be legislated. Don't
overreact. The electric market is poorly regulated. Remedies from the natural
gas market should be transferred to the electric market, rather than allow
the gas market to be corrupted by the regulatory mistakes of the electric
market.
"Rather than worry over regulating an hourly market for natural gas, change
the electric market," which Levin believes has developed its over-emphasis on
the hourly market because of the artificial tilt toward the spot market.
But while Levin warned against too much market meddling, others among the
more than 30 representatives of the industry and its customers testifying at
FERC's conference on competitive natural gas markets argued for a variety of
initiatives to increase market liquidity by changing the rules for pipeline
transportation.
Eliminating the shipper-must-have-title rule, promoting expansion of the
existing pipeline infrastructure (especially in the Northeast), doing away
with straight-fix-variable (SFV) rate design, review of firm-to-wellhead
rates in the production region and the allocation of transportation costs
between the upstream and downstream were among the chief proposals proffered
by mostly pipeline customers.
However, greater gas market liquidity shouldn't be confused with increased
competition in pipeline transportation, municipals and producers told FERC
staff during a post-Order 637 technical conference Wednesday. "...[W]e're
concerned the Commission may be equating market liquidity with competition in
pipeline transportation. The two are not the same," said Arthur Corbin on
behalf of the American Public Gas Association (APGA), which represents
municipal gas distributors.
"Even with greater and greater market liquidity, monopoly power exists in
[the] pipeline transportation segment. Captive shippers will always require a
regulated transportation service from any hub to their citygate," he said.
Much the same holds true for LDCs, noted Bruce Henning, director of energy
practices for Energy and Environmental Analysis Inc. (EEA), who represented
the American Gas Association (AGA) at the Commission staff conference. He
agreed market liquidity has improved immeasurably, but he added "there's not
a liquid market center at every pipeline receipt or delivery point location.
Nor is there likely to be market centers in all of these locations in the
near future..." Consequently, Henning said FERC will need to continue to
protect producers from market power that accompanies "limited access" to
pipelines.
The day-long conference held yesterday in Washington D.C. was the first of
several that FERC staff plans to hold to explore the impact of the
Commission's transportation policies on the development of gas markets.
Christopher A. Helms, president and COO of Panhandle Pipeline Companies,
urged FERC not to enact policy changes that would place commodity market
liquidity as the "ultimate goal" at the expense of the transportation market.
Helms said he advocated policies encouraging pipeline expansions and
construction of "optimal amounts of additional capacity" to meet the needs of
the market. "The single most important characteristic for liquidity in the
natural gas commodity markets is the availability of adequate transportation
capacity."
Charles Daverio, vice president of KeySpan Corp., echoed that sentiment,
saying FERC could increase liquidity in the New York City market and
elsewhere in the Northeast by promoting construction of new pipeline capacity
to ensure adequate supplies for the region year-round. This would reduce
energy costs and enhance reliability, he noted.
Panhandle's Helms also cautioned against policy changes that would force the
development of new market centers and hubs. Market centers should be allowed
to develop at their "own pace," and at locations where the market "sees fit,"
he said.
EEA's Henning estimated more than 40 "liquid and transparent" market centers
exist today, which permit industry participants to buy and sell gas daily
under "extremely competitive" conditions. He said he's "confident" more will
be added because of the options that they provide to gas customers. As
another way to enhance liquidity, KeySpan's Daverio --- as well as others ---
supported eliminating the shipper-must-have-title rule, which requires the
customer to retain title to the gas while it's being shipped. Doing away with
the rule would pave the way for the development of new pipeline products and
services, such as operational balancing and virtual storage, he told the FERC
staff.
But Dena Wiggins, an attorney with the D.C. law firm of Sutherland, Asbill &
Brennan LLP, which represents the Process Gas Consumers Group (industrial gas
customers), said her group was "very concerned" about efforts to repeal the
rule. "...I haven't heard anything yet [today] that satisfies the concerns
that we might have." She noted the Commission already has granted exceptions
to the shipper-must-have-title rule in certain cases, and should continue
with this policy where necessary.
Moreover, Wiggins said industrial customers were increasingly worried about
the mounting market power of unregulated companies, especially gas marketers.
At the conference, she also expressed her group's dismay with the pipeline
compliance filings with Order 637, particularly on the penalty issue. Rather
than an "improved" penalty structure, pipelines are proposing higher
penalties, Wiggins said. "[We] continue to be shocked at the absolute
wholesale departures" from 637.
BP's Jeff Holligan also waded into the fight against all the new services
outlined by pipelines in their Order 637 filings, which he said were "nothing
more than penalties disguised as balancing services that customers can't
refuse." He urged the Commission to check with a pipeline's customers, noting
one proposed new "service" is opposed by 100% of the pipeline's
non-affiliated customers. Some of the proposed services, Holligan said, add
up to nothing more than degradation of existing long-term firm service.
Holligan, representing the largest producer in the U.S. and Canada, joined
other market participants in urging adoption of "standardized allocation
(sales), standardized penalty levels, and the requirement that all pipelines
implement a uniform title transfer tracking process." In short,
"standardizing pipeline services, certainly on an individual pipeline, and
also to a large extent between and across pipelines is imperative if markets
are to be highly liquid..Individually negotiated services, where every
service is a different service, or the adoption of a so-called dual track
market, are the antithesis of a highly liquid, efficient and competitive gas
market. Standardization of operational terms of pipeline service is necessary
to facilitate trading through e-commerce."
"The Commission should be striving to commoditize pipeline capacity so it can
be traded along with gas electronically," Holligan said. | {

I called him at home last night. His absence from the office this week was somewhat unplanned. He is at home with his kids as his mother inlaw is taking a break for the week (remember, he has four kids, including a two-month old baby and his son Erik who has had a variety of health problems). He is planning on coming in at the end of the week to interview some internal people for a job on the services desk. I agree that it looks like he is out of here, but he gave me no indication. I think that we should sit tight for a few days. I will know when he's coming in to do the services interviews. Perhaps Amy should have a conversation with him at that time. | {

I am reading your mail, I have asked for the same thing regarding my base. Especially since I came up here with a base salary converted at 1.48 CDN/USD and with no raise since being here at 1.61 CDN/USD I have received a 9% pay cut relative to my peers in Houston. Not to mention that my base salary is $50-$100 USD/year lower than what other shops are offering. However, after three attempts, I have been unsuccessful in championing my own cause.

Just a quick note after my first look at the numbers. The only concern I have is with the base number. Seeing as there is no money up front, the future payments look a lot more like long term comp. than any real signing or retention bonus. When I came to Enron two years ago I took a $35,000 decrease in base pay in exchange for options and the opportunity to trade for number 1. That is no longer the case (no options and UBS is not #1) therefore I would look for my base to better reflect market on a go forward basis. If you are able to accommodate a reasonable adjustment in base I would be very excited about the opportunity to sign with UBS.
I would like to talk about this on Monday, after I have had a chance to look at the paper in full.

A couple of additional thoughts on this morning's conversation:
1. if we really think the next 6 or 8 months will sort out the takeaway and
receipt point capacity issues, why not bet the whole farm and try to hold
onto the whole 150 mm/d until next winter or fall and see if the perceived
value goes up? We could tell Calpine "no" on their bid and hold them off for
several months "negotiating" if that's what we thought would lead to the best
value. I don't personally think this would be a prudent approach, but its
where our logic leads in the extreme, so we'd better be prepared to explain
why getting the bird in the hand from Calpine is smart.
2. We'll research the question of whether we can reject any recourse bids
that come in over the next 6-8 months if we decide to hold onto the 60 mm/d
for awhile. I've thought about it a bit more and I'm pretty sure you're not
going to like the answer. First, FERC says we've got to have a recourse rate
in place for all capacity, new or old. One reason is that there needs to be
a max rate that applies to long term capacity releases. We have the option
on new projects to go with the existing max tariff rate or a new
incrementally designed rate. We are going with the existing tariff rate on
RedRock. Fine, but that makes the existing rate the recourse rate for all
purposes. FERC's logic will be that TW could sell all of the RedRock
capacity at recourse rates (currently $.38) and never suffer a revenue
shortfall even if future rate cases reduce TW's overall rates, because the
costs of all TW's facilities--including the new project--will be considered
in the next rate case. Think about it--our rates will only go down in the
future if the ENTIRE cost of service goes down. We'd never "lose money" on
RedRock, but we might not make as much as we could have made with an 15 year
fixed $.38 negotiated rate.
There is another approach. We could have Mavrix submit a binding bid right
now for the 60 mm/d and just flat out sell it to them. That would send a
pretty strong signal to the market that we are serious about deadlines. The
downside of that aggressive approach is that it would get us into the same
mess that El Paso finally got themselves out of, with Amoco, Dynegy and the
whole gang beating the crap out of us. I'm not to fired up about this
approach for that reason. I'll give you a call Monday after I've picked our
best regulatory brains on these issues. DF | {

I wanted to let you know that I visited Philippe Bibi last Thursday to
debrief on this loss and also to listen to a number of other points he
raised that could improve the the way we work together. Philippe was very
helpful and very direct - which I appreciate.
Some of the reasons we lost this bid is that we failed to execute the sales
process as I would expect us to. This is not typical of the way we should
now work and we have made changes to account management and service
representation.
We have made enormous progress as a Corporation over the last twelve months.
There is a lot of good news in many accounts around the world but there is
also no complacency and it concerns me a great deal when we have less than
perfect execution.
I shall be following up with Philippe and the account team to ensure we do a
great job in the future.

Dear You Love,
Continental Airlines is committed to meeting new federal requirements regarding checked baggage and airport security fees. In an effort to keep you informed, below are the most recent changes that will affect your travel:
POSITIVE BAG MATCH
Effective January 18, 2002 the Federal Aviation Administration will require a positive bag match for travel within the U.S., its territories and commonwealths. Bags cannot be transported on the aircraft without confirmation that the customer has boarded the aircraft.
DOMESTIC CHECK-IN/ARRIVAL TIME
To ensure compliance with the Positive Bag Match policy without delays or inconvenience, Continental Airlines has changed the boarding time for domestic flights for tickets purchased on or after January 18, 2002. Customers checking baggage must do so at least 30 minutes prior to departure. All customers must be checked in and at the boarding gate no later than 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure. Customers who buy tickets on or after January 18, 2002 who are not at the boarding gate 15 minutes prior to departure are subject to having their reservations canceled, seats released and checked baggage removed from the flight.
SECURITY FEE
The Transportation Security Administration is requiring that airlines collect the September 11th Security Fee of $2.50 per enplanement, not to exceed $5.00 each way or $10.00 per round-trip ticket. This security fee goes into effect for tickets purchased on or after February 1, 2002. It applies to qualifying enplanements from airports in the U.S., its territories and commonwealths. This fee applies to all tickets including frequent flyer reward tickets, two-for-one tickets, tour conductors and infants for whom a fare has been collected.
Continental Airlines continues to make safety our number one priority. Be sure to stay informed with continental.com at:
http://continentalairlines.rsc01.net/servlet/cc4?JHEVCU*ishOLQLJmELgkhgEJht*z*UA
before leaving for the airport. We're looking forward to welcoming you onboard!

I agree with Dave. I'd agrue for 120 if I thought I could get away with it.

Frankly, I am more comfortable with 90 days. Its easier to complete a
project early and send out the info prior to the due date, then to have to go
back and ask for more time. Depending on the size of the plant and location,
we may be faced with a lot of checking equipment records and field checks to
verify ratings. I'll ask Gary Lindland how he feels about reducing the time
line.

Any feedback on Enron's comments on our draft interconnection procedures that
Jay sent out last night? Jay and I are trying to get the DC attorneys on the
phone to incorporate some changes. In particular, Enron wants us to put in a
shorter time for completing the Interconnection Facilities study (60 rather
than 90 days). Enron says we would still have the flexibility to take longer
if we notify the customer that we need more time. How do Dave and Jim feel
about that proposal? | {

MEMORANDUM
TO: State Issues Committee
FROM: Jane Cahill, State Issues Committee Chair
Samantha Slater, Manager of State & Regional Affairs
DATE: March 7, 2001
RE: FTC Request for Comments on Retail Electricity Competition
Plans
? Comments Due April 3, 2001
? Conference Call on Friday, March 16th at 11:00 a.m. EST
On February 28, 2001, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a request for
information regarding the outcome to date of the different regulatory and
legislative approaches states have taken to the introduction of retail
electric competition. To discuss the Commission's notice and the direction
of EPSA's comments in response to the notice, we have scheduled a conference
call for Friday, March 16th at 11:00 a.m. (EST). The FTC's notice was issued
at the request of the Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee of the
U.S. House of Representatives, Billy Tauzin, and the Chairman of the
Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality, Joe Barton. To comply with the
request, the Commission will update its July 2000 staff report Competition
and Consumer Protection Perspectives on Electric Power Regulatory Reform.
The FTC will examine various state retail competition programs and determine
which features have resulted in consumer benefits, and which have not. In
particular, the Commission is interested in information about market
responses to various provisions of state retail competition plants. In
addition, the Commission will also consider possible jurisdictional
limitations on the states' authority to implement retail competition programs
and whether there is a need for federal legislative or regulatory action. A
copy of the FTC's notice is attached.
To access the March 16th conference call at 11:00 a.m. (EST), please dial
1-800-937-6563 and ask for the EPSA/Samantha Slater Call. In the meantime,
if you have any questions or comments please contact Samantha Slater at
202-789-7200 or sslater@epsa.org. The FTC's notice represents an important
and unique opportunity for EPSA members to discuss what is working and what
is not in retail markets today. We encourage as many member companies as
possible to submit comments.
Also during this conference call, we will discuss what role, if any, EPSA
should play in states that have already opened their markets to retail
choice, such as Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois.

Hi, Ms. Corman.
This is Mrs. Jung. This is my email if you ever need it for future
reference. :)
Flat Stanley was sent in the envelopes provided from home. I had the kids
put labels with the school's address on it in the return address corner. I
also included an envelope with the school's address on it so that Stanleys
could be returned. I'm glad to hear Stanleys are being anticipated. I know
the kids are really excited about them.
I'm also glad to hear Chad's enjoying school. We are definitely doing
harder work than Kindergarten. We're actually doing different work than the
rest of first grade - more challenging, mind-stretching work, I'd like to
believe.
I was very encouraged by your letter and just wanted to express my
appreciation for sharing your thoughts with us. Thanks again! Let me know
if you have any other questions.

Winning the Cultural War by Charlton Heston

Tue, 16 Mar 1999 20:47:56 -0600
From:
"Koenig's International News" <bill@watch.org>
To:
watch-news@watch.org
Note from Bill Koenig:
Below is an excellent message given by Charlton Heston at Harvard.
Rush Limbaugh today said he has received 9000 e-mail requests for a
copy.
It is entitled 'Winning the Cultural War' and was given at the
Harvard Law School Forum, February 16, 1999.
************
I remember my son when he was 5, explaining to his kindergarten
class what his father did for a living. "My Daddy," he said,
"pretends to be people." There have been quite a few of them.
Prophets from the Old and New Testaments, a couple of
Christian saints, generals of various nationalities and different
centuries, several kings, three American presidents, a French
cardinal and two geniuses, including Michelangelo. If you want the
ceiling re-painted I'll do my best. There always seem to be a lot
of different fellows up here. I'm never sure which one of them gets
to talk. Right now, I guess I'm the guy.
As I pondered our visit tonight it struck me: If my creator gave me
the gift to connect you with the hearts and minds of those
great men, then I want to use that same gift now to re-connect you
with your own sense of liberty ... your own freedom of
thought ... your own compass for what is right. Dedicating the
memorial at Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln said of America, "We are
now engaged in a great Civil War, testing whether this nation or
any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long
endure." Those words are true again. I believe that we are again
engaged in a great civil war, a cultural war that's about to
hijack your birthright to think and say what resides in your heart.
I fear you no longer trust the pulsing lifeblood of liberty inside
you ... the stuff that made this country rise from wilderness into
the miracle that it is.
Let me back up. About a year ago I became president of the National
Rifle Association, which protects the right to keep and
bear arms. I ran for office, I was elected, and now I serve ... I
serve as a moving target for the media who've called me
everything from "ridiculous" and "duped" to a "brain-injured,
senile, crazy old man." I know ... I'm pretty old ... but I sure
thank the Lord ain't senile. As I have stood in the crosshairs of
those who target Second Amendment freedoms, I've realized that
firearms are not the only issue. No, it's much, much bigger than
that. I've come to understand that a cultural war is raging across
our land, in which, with Orwellian fervor, certain acceptable
thoughts and speech are mandated.
For example, I marched for civil rights with Dr. King in 1963 --
long before Hollywood found it fashionable. But when I told an
audience last year that white pride is just as valid as black pride
or red pride or anyone else's pride, they called me a racist.
I've worked with brilliantly talented homosexuals all my life. But
when I told an audience that gay rights should extend no
further than your rights or my rights, I was called a homophobe.
I served in World War II against the Axis powers. But during a
speech, when I drew an analogy between singling out innocent Jews
and singling out innocent gun owners, I was called an anti-Semite.
Everyone I know knows I would never raise a closed fist against my
country. But when I asked an audience to oppose this
cultural persecution, I was compared to Timothy McVeigh.
>From Time magazine to friends and colleagues, they're essentially
saying, "Chuck, how dare you speak your mind. You are
using language not authorized for public consumption!"
But I am not afraid. If Americans believed in political
correctness, we'd still be King George's boys-subjects bound to the
British crown.
In his book, "The End of Sanity," Martin Gross writes that
"blatantly irrational behavior is rapidly being established as the
norm in almost every area of human endeavor. There seem to be new
customs, new rules, new anti-intellectual theories regularly
foisted on us from every direction.
Underneath, the nation is roiling. Americans know something,
without a name is undermining the nation, turning the mind
mushy when it comes to separating truth from falsehood and right
from wrong. And they don't like it."
Let me read a few examples. At Antioch college in Ohio, young men
seeking intimacy with a coed must get verbal permission at each
step of the process from kissing to petting to final copulation ...
all clearly spelled out in a printed college directive. In New
Jersey, despite the death of several patients nationwide who had
been infected by dentists who had concealed their AIDS --- the
state commissioner announced that health providers who are
HIV-positive need not. .. need not ... tell their patients that
they are infected.
At William and Mary, students tried to change the name of the
school team "The Tribe" because it was supposedly insulting
to local Indians, only to learn that authentic Virginia chiefs
truly like the name.
In San Francisco, city fathers passed an ordinance protecting the
rights of transvestites to cross-dress on the job, and for
transsexuals to have separate toilet facilities while undergoing
sex change surgery.
In New York City, kids who don't speak a word of Spanish have been
placed in bilingual classes to learn their three R's in
Spanish solely because their last names sound Hispanic. At the
University of Pennsylvania, in a state where thousands died
at Gettysburg opposing slavery, the president of that college
officially set up segregated dormitory space for black students.
Yeah, I know ... that's out of bounds now. Dr. King said "Negroes."
Jimmy Baldwin and most of us on the March said "black." But it's a
no-no now.
For me, hyphenated identities are awkward ... particularly
"Native-American." I'm a Native American, for God's sake. I also
happen to be a blood-initiated brother of the Miniconjou Sioux. On
my wife's side, my grandson is a 13th-generation Native American
... with a capital letter on "American." Finally, just last month
... David Howard, head of the Washington D.C. Office of Public
Advocate, used the word "niggardly" while talking to colleagues
about budgetary matters. Of course, 'niggardly' means stingy or
scanty. But within days Howard was forced to publicly apologize and
resign.
As columnist Tony Snow wrote: "David Howard got fired because some
people in public employ were morons who (a) didn't know the meaning
of 'niggardly,' (b) didn't know how to use a dictionary to discover
the meaning, and ,actually demanded that he apologize for their
ignorance." What does all of this mean? It means that telling us
what to think has evolved into telling us what to say, so telling
us what to do can't be far behind.
Before you claim to be a champion of free thought, tell me: Why did
political correctness originate on America's campuses?
And why do you continue to tolerate it? Why do you, who're supposed
to debate ideas, surrender to their suppression?
Let's be honest. Who here thinks your professors can say what they
really believe? It scares me to death, and should scare
you too, that the superstition of political correctness rules the
halls of reason.
You are the best and the brightest. You, here in the fertile cradle
of American academia, here in the castle of learning on the
Charles River, you are the cream. But I submit that you, and your
counterparts across the land, are the most socially
conformed and politically silenced generation since Concord Bridge.
And as long as you validate that ... and abide it ... you are-by
your grandfathers' standards-cowards.
Here's another example. Right now at more than one major
university, Second Amendment scholars and researchers are
being told to shut up about their findings or they'll lose their
jobs. Why? Because their research findings would undermine
big-city mayor's pending lawsuits that seek to extort hundreds of
millions of dollars from firearm manufacturers.
I don't care what you think about guns. But if you are not shocked
at that, I am shocked at you. Who will guard the raw
material of unfettered ideas, if not you? Who will defend the core
value of academia, if you supposed soldiers of free thought
and expression lay down your arms and plead, "Don't shoot me." If
you talk about race, it does not make you a racist. If you
see distinctions between the genders, it does not make you a
sexist. If you think critically about a denomination, it does not
make you anti-religion. If you accept but don't celebrate
homosexuality, it does not make you a homophobe.
Don't let America's universities continue to serve as incubators
for this rampant epidemic of new McCarthyism. But what can you do?
How can anyone prevail against such pervasive social subjugation?
The answer's been here all along. I learned it 36 years ago, on the
steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.,
standing with Dr. Martin Luther King and two hundred thousand
people. You simply ... disobey. Peaceably, yes. Respectfully, of
course. Nonviolently, absolutely. But when told how to think or
what to say or how to behave, we don't. We disobey social protocol
that stifles and stigmatizes personal freedom.
I learned the awesome power of disobedience from Dr. King ... who
learned it from Gandhi, and Thoreau and Jesus and every other great
man who led those in the right against those with the might.
Disobedience is in our DNA. We feel innate kinship with that
Disobedient spirit that tossed tea into Boston Harbor, that sent
Thoreau to jail, that refused to sit in the back of the bus, that
protested a war in Vietnam.
In that same spirit, I am asking you to disavow cultural
correctness with massive disobedience of rogue authority, social
directives and onerous law that weaken personal freedom.
But be careful ... it hurts. Disobedience demands that you put
yourself at risk. Dr. King stood on lots of balconies. You must
be willing to be humiliated ... to endure the modern-day equivalent
of the police dogs at Montgomery and the water Cannons at Selma.
You must be willing to experience discomfort. I'm not Complaining,
but my own decades of social activism have taken their toll on me.
Let me tell you a story.
A few years back I heard about a rapper named Ice-T who was selling
a CD called "Cop Killer" celebrating ambushing and
murdering police officers. It was being marketed by none other than
Time/Warner, the biggest entertainment conglomerate in the world.
Police across the country were outraged. Rightfully so-at least one
had been murdered. But Time/Warner was
stonewalling because the CD was a cash cow for them, and the media
were tiptoeing around it because the rapper was black.
I heard Time/Warner had a stockholders meeting scheduled in Beverly
Hills. I owned some shares at the time, so I decided to attend.
What I did there was against the advice of my family and
colleagues. I asked for the floor. To a hushed room of a
thousand average American stockholders, I simply read the full
lyrics of "Cop Killer"-every vicious, vulgar, instructional word.
"I GOT MY 12 GAUGE SAWED OFF
I GOT MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF
I'm ABOUT TO BUST SOME SHOTS OFF
I'm ABOUT TO DUST SOME COPS OFF..."
It got worse, a lot worse. I won't read the rest of it to you. But
trust me, the room was a sea of shocked, frozen, blanched
faces. The Time/Warner executives squirmed in their chairs and
stared at their shoes. They hated me for that.
Then I delivered another volley of sick lyric brimming with racist
filth, where Ice-T fantasizes about sodomizing two 12-year old
nieces of Al and Tipper Gore. "SHE PUSHED HER BUTT AGAINST MY ...."
Well, I won't do to you here what I did to them. Let's just say I
left the room in echoing silence.
When I read the lyrics to the waiting press corps, one of them said
"We can't print that." "I know," I replied, "but Time/Warner _s
selling it."
Two months later, Time/Warner terminated Ice-T's contract. I'll
never be offered another film by Warners, or get a good review from
Time magazine. But disobedience means you must be willing to act,
not just talk.
When a mugger sues his elderly victim for defending herself ... jam
the switchboard of the district attorney's office. When your
university is pressured to lower standards until 80 percent of the
students graduate with honors ... choke the halls of the board of
regents. When an 8-year-old boy pecks a girl's cheek on the
playground and gets hauled into court for sexual harassment
...march on that school and block its doorways.
When someone you elected is seduced by political power and betrays
you ... petition them, oust them, banish them. When
Time magazine's cover portrays millennium nuts as deranged, crazy
Christians holding a cross as it did last month ... boycott
their magazine and the products it advertises.
So that this nation may long endure, I urge you to follow in the
hallowed footsteps of the great disobediences of history that
freed exiles, founded religions, defeated tyrants, and yes, in the
hands of an aroused rabble in arms and a few great men, by
God's grace, built this country.
If Dr. King were here, I think he would agree.
Thank you.

Subject: paperexchange CEO resigns
PaperExchange CEO steps down
December 08, 2000 01:35 PM PT
by Adam Feuerstein
Kent Dolby, president and CEO of PaperExchange, resigned unexpectedly
Thursday, adding to the mounting turmoil at the independent Net marketplace
for the pulp and paper industry.
Dolby's resignation, for personal reasons, comes a little more than a month
after the company laid off 14 percent of its workforce in a major retooling
of its business plan. Dolby joined PaperExchange -- 83 percent owned by
Internet Capital Group (ICGE) -- in December 1999.
Bob Brenner, PaperExchange's current chief technology officer, is being
promoted to the CEO post. Duane Desisto, currently CFO and chief operating
officer, will become president.
Company executives, including Dolby, were not available to discuss the
management shifts, but the moves were confirmed by a company spokeswoman.
Brenner's ascension may be linked to PaperExchange's decision to focus less
on its online exchange for excess paper products, and concentrate instead on
developing and selling Internet-based business applications for the pulp and
paper industry.
Dolby may also be a victim of the fickleness of the b-to-b sector. When he
joined the company, independent Net markets were the poster children for
successful b-to-b ventures. But in the ensuing months, industry-sponsored
marketplaces -- ventures set up by big industry players -- have risen to the
top, forcing indie Net markets onto the b-to-b endangered list.
PaperExchange faces considerable competiton from ForestExpress, a marketplace
sponsored by industry giants Weyerhaeuser (WY), International Paper (IP),
Georgia-Pacific (GP), Mead (MEA), Boise Cascade and Willamette (WLL).
ForestExpress may or may not grow into a successful b-to-b marketplace, but
its very existence has dominated b-to-b activity in the pulp and paper
industry, and has essentially frozen any progress PaperExchange was making.
The pickle in which PaperExchange finds itself is also being viewed, by some,
as an indictment of Internet Capital Group.
In September, ICG boosted its stake in the company from 20 percent to 83
percent, in exchange for 4.8 million shares of ICG common stock. The deal
came at a time when ForestExpress was showing signs of life and when indie
Net markets in general were falling into disfavor and were being all but
ignored by most venture capitalists.
ICG's fortunes have tumbled lately because many of its b-to-b investments are
not paying off for shareholders. Last month, the company announced plans to
cut costs, reduce its investment spending and refocus efforts on 15
"developed" companies in its portfolio -- companies that have the best
near-term shot at initial public offerings.
PaperExchange was not named as one of those "developed" companies.
An ICG spokeswoman defends the investment in PaperExchange, acknowledging the
company needs to help in developing its business model further -- a role ICG
is uniquely positioned to play.
"We have accumulated a lot of knowledge about b-to-b that has helped us build
some leading b-to-b businesses," said Michelle Strykowski. "Our investment in
PaperExchange is an educated bet based on that proven experience."

Group,
When entering a physical annuity (for example, for the sale of ST-Cali length
in SP-15), we need to make that the annuity starts and ends for 2 days from
now, for 1 mw, for HE 1, for the appropriate dollar amount. So today is the
22nd, consequently I would make any annuity for deals done today, start and
stop on the 24th, for HE 1. I would like to observe this 2 day difference on
every annuity that we make. So, if you need an annuity for an amount on the
23rd, make the annuity for the 25th. Please be sure that the start and stop
times for the deal and for the strip match. An annuity will not flag an
error in a mismatch between the strip and the information on top like a
forward deal.
We are currently having many problems settling annuitys. Extra comments in
the comment sections can only help. PLEASE ask questions of senior team
members or myself, and get this right!
Thank you,

Thanks. I'll soften the expropriation language. I don't think they can
disclose the $1 million on the product liability case, since the entire
package appears to be one negotation, all the pieces of which likely have to
be agreed to, or no settlement. But you're point's well taken and I'll try
to acount for it in the answer. Finally, I can't see disclosing the fact
that I'm infringing on someone's patent in my annual report. Seems like I'd
have a hard time defending myself in court if they sued me, if I'd admitted
it to it in my annual report.
If I don't see you tomorrow, have a good week.

Subject: Re: Global Case
Jeff,
Sorry, I didn't realize we were attacking this one early over the holiday,
and I was out of town
until this afternoon. My conclusions differed from the attached write up on a
few points, but I am
not certain my thinking is the correct way. Here goes:
On the expropriation:
In the write up we say "We agree with the executive that Global should report
the expropriation
contingency in its 1994 report since both conditions included in FASB #5 were
met: 1) sufficient
information to assess that a loss is probable and 2) the loss could be
reasonably estimated.
Matuto took power in 1994 and it was known that he would nationalize major
industries. "
The book says "The imminence of an expropriation may be indicated by a public
or private
declaration of intent by a government to expropriate assess of the enterprise
or actual
expropriation of assets of other enterpises." I would argue that Matuto was
not the government and
therefore unable to enforce these assertions when he was running for office.
It also says FASB 5
requires the two accrual criteria to be met.
As I understand it, the government took over sometime last year and
nationalization of resources
was part of their platform. However, the announcement occured in mid-Feb 1995
that the government
intends to nationalize the mining industry. Also, the taking over of the
telephone company took
place in January. Since both of these events happened in 1995, I would think
they should not accrue
in 1994 because the asset was not actually impaired in 1994, in fact the
asset was fully functional
and operational for the entire financial reporting period. I believe they
should disclose that the
possibility of expropriation exists in 1994, but I think they should not
accrue..
I disagree that the company should cease use of the patent infringing
technology, I believe that
companies frequently make conscious business decisions to infringe upon
patents. Since I agree that
an accrual is not in order, perhaps a general disclosure regarding patent
litigation should be
made.
The book states that "If there are several aspects of litigation, each of
which gives rise to a
possible claim, then the accrual criteria should be applied to each possible
claim...."
Thus I think we should break up the product liability suit into pieces.
They've agreed to pay 1M
for lost rentals. This should clearly be accrued, assuming it hasn't been
paid yet. The tenants
claims are expected to be settled for 1M, this too should be accrued. The
surrounding property
claims are not estimable, and therefore should be handled with a disclosure.

At the risk of asking a stupid question, are we in breach under the project agreement? I didn't comb it, but I also didn't see anything that screamed breach to me. If we have a paid up call on 100 MW, that is probably something we would want to preserve.
More to consider!

The following additions and modifications to Stack Manager will be effective as of Saturday September 8, 2001.
Stack Manager Modifications
Inactivate All Stack - In addition to the individual Activate/Inactive Stack buttons, there is now an Inactivate All Stack button. Similar to the Suspend All button, this button will inactivate the trader's stack on all active products. Any existing top of stack limit orders will continue to post to the website and remain transactable. See screen shot below: Inactivate All Stack button on far right.
Please note that we have switched the positions of the suspend and inactivate buttons in Stack Manager.
Fill Order - If a product is set up as either Restricted Top of Stack or Top of Stack the trader now has the ability to automatically fill any order that is at the top of the stack. In order to fill a limit order that is at the top of the product's stack, which will appear in pink, the trader should right click anywhere on the stack window and choose "Fill order". The volume filled on an order will be that which is offered by the trader. In order to fill the complete volume of the order, the trader will need to adjust the volume in his stack.
Floated Stack windows - If the stack is inactive on a product, the price and volume fields on the my products tab will continue to be blank. On the depth window and floated stack window of these products the trader's prices will be in gray and italics. Children of products that have inactive stacks will not be gray and italicised in the floated stack windows and will not see the calculated prices.
No Auto Inactivate Stack - It is now possible to keep a product active even if the trader is not logged into Stack Manager. If the trader wishes to enable this functionality on the upper right corner of the product properties page the trader should choose "No Auto Inactivate when Stack Manager is down".
Changes regarding Suspension of products
Stack Manager will inactivate products rather than suspend them in the following cases:
? Market Close - If a product is active at the end of its trading hours its stack will automatically become inactive rather than suspending. In order to keep a product's stack active past the set trading hours, the trader should choose "Keep Awake" next to the trading hours section of the product properties page.
? Auto Suspend now inactivates stack - On a product with the Auto Suspend function enabled to monitor the price changes on the product, the product's stack will be inactivated if the Suspend at level is reached. This feature can be used by checking the Enable box on the product properties page under the Auto Suspend section.
? Logging Out of Stack Manager- When you log out of Stack Manager without inactivating or suspending your products, the system will now inactivate your products rather than suspending them.

I'm sending you two things that I hope will clarify some of these
discrepancies. The first is an updated Real Time spreadsheet for 3/19 that
shows the volumes for deal 553219. Bill Williams and I looked over their
spreadsheets and could not find this deal in the 3/16 sheet - so I'm still
wondering why EES thinks this deal should be in at a different date and
price.
The second document is a modified version of the sheet you sent me. In it, I
answered the questions I could and changed things I knew were wrong. I also
asked questions on deals where I can't find a discrepancy between my sheet
and EnPower.

Zimin,
to generalize your initial comment, for any process dS = Mu(S,t)*S*dt +
Sigma(S,t)*S*dz,
the delta-hedging argument leads to the Black-Scholes PDE.
This is true for any arbitrary functions Mu and Sigma, and so includes GBM,
Mean Reversion, and others.
There is no problem with this, because in the risk-neutral world, which is
what you enter if you can hedge,
the drift of the "actual" process is irrelevant.
I believe your concern is that you would like to see a different option price
for Mean Reversion process. This can only happen if the asset is not
hedgeable, and so the actual dynamics then need to be factored into the
option pricing. If you assume that the underlying is a non-traded factor,
then the PDE will have to reflect the market price of risk, and the drift of
the actual process is then reflected in the PDE.

Subject: Option Pricing Challenge
Dear All,
I have a fundamental question back in my mind since 95. Hope you can give
me a convincing answer .
Zimin
---------------------------------
In deriving BS differential equation, we assume the underlying follows GBM
ds= mu*s*dt + sigma*s*dz
where mu is the drift, sigma is the volatility, both can be a function of s.
Then we use delta hedging argument, we obtain the BS differential equation
for the option price, regardless
of mu.
With the BS PDE and boundary condition, we can derive BS formula. Fine. No
problem.
Question comes here. Suppose the underlying is traded security and follows,
say, mean-reverting process
ds=beta(alpha-s)dt + sigma*s*dz
Apparantly, this SDE leads to a different probability distribution. However,
using the delta hedging argument,
we still get the same BS differential equation, with the same boumdary
condition, we get the same BS formula.
Not fair !
From another angle, I can derive the distribution from the BS PDE for the
underlying, which is the lognormal distribution.
My thinking is: can I drive the distribution for any SDE from the option PDE
? The answer should be yes, but got to be
from a different PDE rather than BS PDE. Then what we do about the
delta-hedging argument ?
Thanks. | {

Future Looks Dark for New York Market;
NYSEG Outlines Energy Policy
by Will McNamara
Director, Electric Industry Analysis
[News item from Reuters] New York State Electric & Gas Corp. (NYSEG), one of
New York's seven utilities, said the state will not have enough megawatts to
support a truly competitive wholesale electric market until 2008. NYSEG, in a
report issued late Wednesday, warned there are "serious problems with (New
York's) generation supply and a lack of transmission and pipeline
infrastructure." The report challenges a market appraisal by the New York
Independent System Operator (NYISO), which has run the state's wholesale
power market since 1999. The NYSEG report, titled ``New York State's Electric
Energy Crisis and NYSEG's Comprehensive Solution,'' criticizes the NYISO for
not giving power consumers "price certainty" in the transition from local
monopolies to an open, competitive market.
Analysis: New York can now officially be added to the list of troubled energy
markets, as market projections and fundamental structural problems spell out
an alarming prognosis for the state as it heads into the summer season.
However, unlike California, which basically faces a power supply problem that
can be improved over time, New York arguably suffers from a more severe and
permanent set of conditions that cannot be easily resolved. Like its West
Coast counterpart, New York also suffers from a supply / demand imbalance and
local resistance that thwarts new generation development. However, even if or
when power supply can be increased in New York, the core load center of New
York City still suffers from inherent transmission deficiencies that continue
to take their own toll on the stability of the market.
Various stakeholders in the New York market have now begun to place blame on
each other in advance of what could shape up to be a very problematic summer.
As noted, in its new report, NYSEG, a subsidiary of Energy East (NYSE: EAS),
is especially critical of NYISO, which it says has contributed to soaring
wholesale prices in New York. NYSEG also blames NYISO for outlining
unrealistic goals for new power supply, not providing accurate price signals
to energy customers, and for not doing enough to solve immediate problems.
Yet, beyond the finger pointing, some essential facts can be established, on
which both NYSEG and the NYISO apparently agree. According to data included
in the NYISO report, between 1995 and 2000, while statewide demand in New
York rose by 2,700 MW, generating capacity under contract in the state
increased only by 1,060 MW. New York has not brought a new plant online since
1996, when a 200-MW plant opened in Brooklyn. It has been almost seven years
since a 1,000 MW unit in Oswego, N.Y. marked the last plant to open upstate.
In addition, New York suffers from severe transmission bottlenecks. Deficient
transmission systems in central New York, around New York City and at the
outlining borders to other states and Canada limit the amount of power than
can be imported into the state. New York City is relatively isolated from the
transmission grids that serve the rest of the state and must rely heavily on
city-based power supply. New York City's load should reach 10,535 MW this
summer alone, requiring 8,428 MW of in-city capacity, along with imports, to
meet demand and provide a reserve margin. With a current capacity of 8,132
MW, there is a potential 296 MW shortfall. These projections presume normal
weather conditions. If New York experiences a warmer-than-normal summer, the
outlook gets even worse.
Further, according to a report from New York's State Attorney General,
between 1988 and 1998 capital improvements to New York's transmission system
dropped from $307.7 million per year to $90 million per year. At the present
time, only one major addition to the transmission system in the state is
scheduled. A proposed underwater line linking Long Island to Connecticut
would provide Long Island with about 300 MW of additional power and increase
its import capacity by about 4 percent. Unless this transmission expansion is
expedited, it is not scheduled for operation until 2002.
Consequently, given all of these factors, power supplies in New York most
certainly will be strained this summer when warmer temperatures drive up the
use of air conditioners, pushing demand to annual highs. While NYSEG and the
NYISO may agree on the nature of New York's problems, a contentious debate
has emerged with regard to finding a solution. In its own proposal, released
in early March, the NYISO focused on building new generation, expediting
siting processes, improving transmission lines, and conservation efforts. In
one of its key proposals, the NYISO urged the creation of 8,600 MW of new
electricity (roughly 30 percent of New York's peak demand) by 2005, with up
to 5,000 MW of that generation being made available by the end of 2001.
NYSEG immediately denounced the plan for "falling short in its assessment of
the magnitude of the crisis" and issued its own proposals in its recent
report. For instance, NYSEG officials said that NYISO had "grossly
oversimplified the situation" and that, considering the tenuous state of
power construction in New York, the objective of establishing 8,600 MW by
2005 was "extremely unrealistic." In turn, NYSEG says that a robust wholesale
electric market will not materialize in New York until 2008, assuming that
measures to repair the problems in the state are taken immediately. In early
March, NYSEG released the "NYSEGPlan," outlining six steps which it believes
"contain the real solutions to ensure a successful transition" to a
competitive market in New York. In summary, the NYSEGPlan includes:
Streamlining the siting and approval process to build new generating plants.
Adding to the state's transmission capacity.
Adding to the state's natural-gas supply infrastructure.
Creating a regional transmission organization to increase supply liquidity.
Reinforcing the need for wise energy use by all consumers, by encouraging
interruptible load where feasible, and building the technological
infrastructure necessary for real-time pricing.
Approving the NYSEG Price Protection Plan, in which electric rates would be
frozen for seven years, by July 1, 2001.
However, while NYSEG criticized NYISO for espousing unrealistic goals, the
same obstacles inherent in New York's market might also thwart its own energy
plan. For instance, topping the list of NYSEG's six steps is an emphasis on
establishing new generation in New York through a streamlined siting and
approval process. This may be easier said than done. As I mentioned in my
3/22/01IssueAlert, the opposition to new power plants in New York equals the
lobbying force that community groups in California wield. In that column, I
discussed the fact that Sithe Energies has downscaled a proposed plant in
Ramapo, N.Y. (from an 827-MW combined-cycle facility to a 510-MW peaking
unit) due to opposition raised by local residents.
In addition, just yesterday, a New York Supreme Court judged blocked efforts
by the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to build two 44-MW gas-fired
generators in the borough of Queens. The Supreme Court judge order NYPA to
"cease all construction on the units" and ruled that the power authority
violated state environmental-review laws to its efforts to rush the plant
into service by June. In response, NYPA has said that the plants*along with
nine others that it is hoping to build throughout New York City*are needed to
prevent power outages this summer. NYPA continues to face fierce opposition
from community groups (many of them launching lawsuits) who do not want the
generation units in their neighborhoods.
Consequently, the supply / demand imbalance in New York is a very serious
matter, and one that residents in the state may not fully appreciate unless
blackouts occur. Until the core problem of insufficient transmission lines
surrounding New York State and New York City are solved, adding new power
supply (assuming that generation development can move past community
opposition) would not be enough to bring more balance to the market. In the
interim, conservation efforts may truly be the only tool that New Yorkers can
user to abate power outages this summer, but again the general public may not
fully understand the need to reduce their power usage.
New York basically has three options at this point to prepare for near-term
problems. First, expedite the building of new generation sources (including
distribution generation alternatives). This assumes that gas lines will be
sufficient to import necessary fuel. Second, allow the economy of New York
City to stagnate as a result of the supply / demand imbalance, which will
drive residents out of the city and in turn reduce demand. And, third, focus
on conservation efforts, which again may not work until residents are
directly impacted by outages. The city may choose a combination of all three
approaches or decide to focus on just one. However, to address the immediate
concerns, it does not appear that New York has any options besides this
three-tier approach.
One point that bears mentioning is the similarity between California and New
York regarding the position that both states took on divestiture. Although it
is not completely accurate to say that either state officially mandated
divestiture, utilities in both California and New York felt intense pressure
to divest and submitted restructuring plans that included the sale of most of
their power plants. NYSEG, the author of the new report on New York's power
problems, is one utility that sold all of its generation assets and will
remain only in the transmission business. This most likely creates a
heightened sensitivity on NYSEG's part with regard to the power supply
shortages presently facing New York. Again, we now have two states that
represent the array of problems that can result when the vertical utility
model becomes dismantled. Of course, it is not fair to say that divestiture
is the sole source of the current problems in California and New York, but
taking away a utility's ability to effectively control is own power supply
costs certainly contributed to the vulnerability in both states.

Touche'
The Wisdom of Will Rogers
Don't squat with your spurs on.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad
judgment.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back in.
If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to
make sure it's still there.
If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin'
somebody else's dog around.
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started
roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him... The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco.
It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be
surprised if they learn their lesson.
When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around
by somebody else.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in
your pocket.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.
There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who
learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
for themselves. | {

To Mr. Ken Lay,
I'm writing to urge you to donate the millions of dollars you made from selling Enron stock before the company declared bankruptcy to funds, such as Enron Employee Transition Fund and REACH, that benefit the company's employees, who lost their retirement savings, and provide relief to low-income consumers in California, who can't afford to pay their energy bills. Enron and you made millions out of the pocketbooks of California consumers and from the efforts of your employees.
Indeed, while you netted well over a $100 million, many of Enron's employees were financially devastated when the company declared bankruptcy and their retirement plans were wiped out. And Enron made an astronomical profit during the California energy crisis last year. As a result, there are thousands of consumers who are unable to pay their basic energy bills and the largest utility in the state is bankrupt.
The New York Times reported that you sold $101 million worth of Enron stock while aggressively urging the company's employees to keep buying it. Please donate this money to the funds set up to help repair the lives of those Americans hurt by Enron's underhanded dealings.
Sincerely,
Andrea Sea Namaste | {

Hey Bo,
I was checking on some flights for myself and happened to look at one-way
tickets from New Orleans. It looks like the refundable, no-advance purchase
ticket is going to run you about $100 on Southwest...Lucky for you they do
offer a senior citizen fare for $55 (age does have its advantages).
Sissy
By the way, I didn't even realise John Cleese and Denise Richards were in
the movie...and evidently at some point Bond hijacks a submarine. Roger
Ebert actually thought so much of the film he gave it 3 and 1/2 stars. We
may have to watch this one at some point.
"The World Is Not Enough" is a splendid comic thriller,
exciting and graceful,
endlessly inventive. Because it is also the 19th James Bond
movie, it comes with so
much history that one reviews it like wine, comparing it to
earlier famous vintages; I
guess that's part of the fun. This is a good one. | {

Thanks. I'll take 12 magnums. And please order 2 cases of Coastal zin. I
think that we'll likely come by either before or after the dome trip this
weekend. I can pay you then.
I'm not looking to make money on the grapes. Just looking for someone to
finance the development of my land. And I'd have a vineyard to look at all
the time! That'd be enough for me. Thanks for all your help.

The Dabhol Power Company, the Enron Corporation's unit in India, stopped
generating electricity at its $3 billion power plant after its sole customer,
the utility of the Indian state of Maharashtra, stopped buying power on
Tuesday. The halt in power generation was the latest move in a months-long
dispute that has cast doubt on the future of Dabhol's $2.9 billion power
project in India, the largest foreign investment ever in India. Jimmy Mogul,
a spokesman for Enron, which owns 65 percent of Dabhol, said the company
remained open to discussions in the dispute, which involves overdue payments
for power. Dabhol had issued a preliminary termination notice on May 19
saying it was pulling out of the Indian project. Final termination requires a
contractual six-month cooling-off period.

Spin Control: Spain Hits Turning Point At Windmill Parks --- Some Are Well

BARBATE, Spain -- The economy of this fishing community is as battered as its
town hall, where dim lights flicker in the hallways and chips of paint flake
off the walls. Up in his second-floor office, the mayor, Juan Manuel de
Jesus, has an in-tray overflowing with troubles: a third of the town out of
work; a desperately needed fishing treaty with Morocco; rising crime and drug
abuse; and a big municipal budget deficit.
But this morning, his thoughts revolve around a different irritant: windmills.
"Look at this," he says, unfolding on his desk a map of the countryside
surrounding Barbate. Large yellow and green splotches -- a military training
zone and a swarm of natural parks -- hem in the seaside town, leaving just a
pair of white slivers. "Those are the only areas open for development," he
says. His finger stabs one of the white areas near the Atlantic coast. "And
that's where they're putting the windmills -- the one place we could have
built a hotel, a resort, something that would bring us some jobs."
The mayor sees the windmills as a blight on the land, driving away tourists
and crimping more lucrative projects. Local environmentalists fret that the
installation, with its rows of steel towers and sharp metal blades, will play
havoc with migrating birds and mar the coastline as they did in nearby
Tarifa, a windsurfing mecca on the Strait of Gibraltar.
Tilting at windmills is nothing new in the land of Don Quixote. But wind
power doesn't have to be like this. At the opposite end of the country, more
than 1,000 kilometers to the north in the green hills of Navarra, 28 steel
windmills perch on a ridge over a landscape that resembles a nature reserve.
Cows nap in the shade of the towers, and the narrow gravel access roads
follow original grazing trails. Electricity is transformed in a nearby
substation built to resemble the neighboring stone houses. The approach --
the result of close cooperation between business and government -- has won
accolades from environmentalists and business leaders alike.
Spain, the world's No. 3 producer of wind power, has become a battleground
for two competing models of developing the business: the hodgepodge of
unsightly wind parks seen in the south and the carefully planned and
unobtrusive installations found up north. The conflict is intensely local,
with the country building enough new windmills to more than triple its
wind-power capacity by 2005. But the model that prevails will have
consequences far beyond the Iberian Peninsula.
Anxious to clean up its environment and limit its dependence on imports of
natural gas, the European Union has committed itself to generating 22% of its
electricity from renewable energy sources by 2010. Yet less than 5% of the
EU's electricity output now comes from windmills, thanks largely to poor
execution and a brewing backlash.
If Spain -- with its open spaces and relatively low population density --
can't sell the public on windmills, the EU will likely find it difficult to
convince Europeans to accept more ambitious forms of alternative energy, such
as biomass plants, which turn agricultural, animal and human waste into
energy. The failure could also call into question the EU's commitment to the
1997 Kyoto global-warming treaty, which U.S. President George W. Bush has
been roundly criticized in Europe for rejecting.
Few expected this turn in events back in 1996, when the EU first set a more
modest 2010 target. At the time, wind power looked like the fresh breeze of
the future. Soon, the union's most green-minded states, led by Germany and
Denmark, were busily building wind parks to the applause of environmental
groups, which saw wind power as a clean alternative to nuclear power and
coal-burning power plants.
But early enthusiasm led to shortsighted projects, leaving the European
landscape littered with inefficient wind parks. Germany, for example, quickly
became the world's largest producer of wind power, with 6,113 megawatts of
capacity installed at the end of last year. But the breakneck growth has
gobbled up most of the available sites for windmills, prompting government
officials to promise more careful planning procedures. Opposition is also
building in Denmark, forcing the government to rethink a wind-power subsidy
program.
All of this spells trouble for wind power, which relies heavily on government
funding. "Lower-quality projects are mucking up the panorama," says James
Stettler, a renewable energy analyst with Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein in
London.
Finding the right balance between wind development and environmental care
would go a long way toward assuaging public opposition -- notably in
wind-rich but windmill-poor Britain and Ireland -- and toward avoiding
California-like blackouts in Spain in the years to come. The danger is real,
says Rafael Miranda, chairman of Spanish utility Endesa SA, who this month
urged the government to ease restrictions on new investments in power plants
or risk outages.
One way forward can be seen in the hills of northern Navarra, at the
installations of Energia Hidroelectrica de Navarra SA, a Spanish company that
specializes in renewable energy. On a recent afternoon, EHN official Enrique
Huidobro races his four-by-four past two huge trucks on a dusty track leading
up to Alaiz, an 85-turbine park built in 1999. EHN's head of civil works, Mr.
Huidobro is working overtime -- patching the land, clearing debris and
replanting grass around the park's latest additions, 10 big 660-kilowatt
turbines whose 23-meter-long blades whoosh over the landscape with barely a
whisper.
EHN is Spain's largest wind-park developer. The company has installed more
than 600 megawatts of wind capacity in Spain over the past five years, mostly
in Navarra. Its parks have won accolades from environmental groups and
business leaders alike, and company-sponsored surveys show public approval
ratings above 80%. One of its subsidiaries, Energias Eolicas Europeas, this
spring landed the biggest-ever financing package in the wind sector: some 900
million euros from five European banks to build 31 wind parks in Don
Quixote's La Mancha in south-central Spain.
"The extra costs from taking care of the environment aren't questioned here,"
says EHN's chief executive, Esteban Morras, seated beneath oil paintings of
modern windmills in his office in Pamplona. "That's the most profitable
investment there is in the long run."
Mr. Morras isn't just paying lip service to the green lobby. A former
attorney and civil servant, he spent years working on water-resource and
energy issues in the governments of his hometown and, later, the region. So
when EHN was founded in 1989 and he became CEO, he was merely taking his
passion to the private sector.
Fresh from his morning English lesson -- EHN is expanding into the U.S.,
Eastern Europe and Latin America -- Mr. Morras outlines what he sees as the
keys to making wind power palatable: careful planning, environmental
sensitivity and the latest in technology. Then he grabs a pair of binoculars
and peers out the window behind his desk. On the crest of a hill in the
distance is EHN's newest prototype, a 1.3-megawatt turbine. It's 10 times
bigger than the turbines first installed in southern Spain, yet its
27-meter-long blades spin in much gentler breezes.
"With more machines like that," Mr. Morras says, "we'll have parks that are
less cluttered -- and more reliable and economical."
The company's success owes a lot to the region's government. Navarra helped
create EHN and still owns 48% of it. Navarra also approved generous tax
credits for companies that invest in renewable-energy projects and
established coherent and far-reaching planning procedures for wind power
across the region. The strategy transformed the region from an also-ran in
wind power to a model of development in five years
Sitting in an office overlooking Navarra's first wind park, the regional
official who guides the program reflects on the strategy. "It's not just
about megawatts," says Nuria Iturriagagoitia, Navarra's director of industry,
trade, labor and tourism. "You have to consider how it affects employment,
education, agriculture, even tourism. The key was having a clear idea from
the beginning on how to promote and implement alternative energies. EHN is
the vehicle of our energy policy."
She ticks off details of the 1995 energy plan. "The government studied 72
sites across Navarra," she says, sketching a map of the shield-shaped region
on a piece of paper. "It ruled out 43 of them: They were virgin territory, or
too close to natural parks, even though they were some of the best, windiest
sites," she explains, crossing out huge swaths of the hilly province.
In the end, 16 sites made the cut. But Navarra's strategy for quelling
opposition didn't end there. After EHN began its detailed planning, Mr.
Morras held weekly public meetings with environmentalists, developers and
local residents. "We discussed every curve of every road," he says.
"Everybody was included."
EHN, unlike many Spanish wind-park developers, also decided to have all its
windmills assembled in local factories. Its new project in Castilla-La
Mancha, for example, will be supplied by a newly built local Enron Corp.
plant.
The approach paid off. Today, all 16 sites have operational wind parks. Five
years after the first turbines started spinning, some 35% of Navarra's
electricity comes from wind power. That compares with about 2% for Spain as a
whole, and 13% for Denmark, the world's fourth-largest wind-power producer.
Having won over the citizens of Navarra, the regional government and EHN are
now working to educate the whole country about wind power. They regularly bus
students from across Spain to their wind parks, some of which have become
tourist attractions.
Compare this with the haphazard patchwork of windmills cropping up down south
in Andalusia, home to one of the country's first wind parks -- the sprawling
installation of low-power windmills planted in Tarifa in 1992.
In 1997, wind-power developers presented some 65 projects to the regional
government. But Andalusia had no overall plan for exploiting the region's
wind-swept coasts and inland hilltops. The region had no plan to oversee
wind-power development, and no uniform criteria for installing or removing
windmills. In the end, about 20 wind parks were approved with little thought
to how much total energy they would generate for the region or how they would
cumulatively affect the environment.
The result: Trucks and cranes have chewed up many pristine areas, leaving
behind 45-meter-high towers and concrete-block substations. Yet wind power
still generates less than 1% of Andalusia's electricity.
Soledad Bonet, a spokeswoman for Andalusia's environmental department,
acknowledges that the region has no global planning procedure for new energy
installations, including wind parks. Although the region's departments of
environment, labor and industry all review wind-park plans, individual
municipal governments are essentially free to award development licenses as
they see fit.
The crosswinds of these forces can be seen on a hilltop west of Barbate,
where Desarrollos Eolicos SA, the wind park unit of engineering firm Abengoa
SA, is busy erecting a row of windmills. More than 20 towers are already in
place, and neighbors worry the looming turbines and gouged-out access roads
will create another Tarifa. "They might be `green' and all," says Antonio
Aragon, a taxi driver who gets an eyeful every time he wheels out of town.
"But they sure do foul up the landscape something awful."
This is "third-world" development, says Jose Luis Tirado, a 47-year-old
sculptor who heads of a local group of environmentalists, businessmen and
landowners who oppose the wind park. "We've spent decades calling for
alternative energy sources," he says. "But doing it like this -- without any
sort of planning -- is worse than doing nothing at all." Equally galling, he
says, is that none of the wind-park developers active in the region have
shifted any production to local factories, despite Andalucia's jobless rate
of more than 20%.
Back in Barbate's town hall, Mayor de Jesus sits at his desk and recalls how
he invoked building-permit irregularities to stop work on the wind park
earlier this year. A few months later, though, a local judge overruled him,
arguing that Abengoa stood to lose its investment and that Barbate would have
had to reimburse the company for the cost of the whole project. Construction
has begun again. Abengoa declines to comment.
Now, Mr. de Jesus leafs through a dossier of proposed economic initiatives
for his town, then sets it aside with a sigh. His legal battle to halt
construction looks hopeless, as does his chance of winning a new accord that
will allow local fishermen to cast their nets in Moroccan waters.
Unemployment and drugs are slowly killing his town, he says.
"Those turbines are being built -- there's nothing we can do about that," he
says. "But that's it. We're passing a new urban plan this year. There won't
be any more [wind-park] licenses in the future, not here."

Struggling Enron plant in India stops production
By LAURA GOLDBERG
Copyright 2001 Houston Chronicle
Enron Corp.'s India power plant has stopped production after its sole
customer stopped ordering electricity.
The Maharashtra State Electricity Board had not issued dispatch instructions
for power from the Dabhol Power Co. since early Tuesday, Enron spokesman John
Ambler said Wednesday.
The move by the board is the latest in a series of actions and counteractions
surrounding the $3 billion project, in which Enron has a 65 percent stake.
Though the plant can't produce power unless it has dispatch instructions, the
plant hasn't been shut down. Employees are there and the plant reportedly is
operational -- ready to produce power.
The board told Enron last week it was canceling a 7-year-old power purchase
agreement. Enron says the board doesn't have the right to do so.
Under the contract, the board is supposed to pay Enron whether it takes power
or not, said Carol Coale, an energy analyst with Prudential Securities in
Houston.
But the board has already refused to pay for power, saying Enron isn't living
up to its contract. Enron, which says it is meeting the contract's terms, is
owed about $64 million for power sold in December and January.
Days before the board gave notice to Enron, the company started proceedings
to end the contract because of unpaid power bills. But six months must pass
before Enron can end it.
There is continued speculation that Enron is looking to sell its stake in the
project. In a statement, Enron said Wednesday it is "still open to
constructive discussions on solutions."
Indian officials also have been talking to some of the country's states about
purchasing electricity from Dabhol, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday.
The project has faced ongoing problems, almost from the time of Enron's
initial investment in it in the early 1990s.
BP Doesn't Expect Lead Role In Saudi Gas Proj - Source

DUBAI -(Dow Jones)- BP Plc (BP) doesn't expect to be awarded the lead role in
Saudi Arabia's South Ghawar gas project, a source at the company told Dow
Jones Newswires Thursday, requesting anonymity.
Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia announced its selection of international oil
companies to develop three gas projects together, estimated to require
investment of $25 billion-$30 billion.
BP was selected, along with Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Royal Dutch/Shell Group
(RD), and Phillips Petroleum Co. (P), to develop the South Ghawar field, also
known as Core Venture 1. Analysts estimate Core Venture 1 will need initial
investment of between $15 billion and $17 billion.
Industry sources have said that ExxonMobil and Shell are the strongest
contenders to lead the project.
The BP source said the leader of Core Venture 1 will get a 35% stake,
Phillips a 15% stake, and the other two partners, 25% each.
ExxonMobil has been appointed leader of Core Venture 2, or the Red Sea
project, with a joint bid by Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) and Enron Corp.
(ENE) securing a minority stake.
Core Venture 3, the Shaybah project, was awarded to a consortium of Shell,
TotalFinaElf (TOT), and Conoco Inc. (COCA).
Leaders for Core Ventures 1 and 3 have yet to be announced.
Oil company executives are due to sign initial agreements Sunday.

Regulators want state trade-off for caps / Davis asked to give up control of
power lines
Bernadette Tansey
Chronicle Staff Writer
05/31/2001
The San Francisco Chronicle
FINAL
A.1
(Copyright 2001)
California's testy relationship with federal energy regulators could turn
into a showdown tomorrow, when state power officials must decide whether to
surrender some control over the state's electricity market or risk losing
limited price curbs that kicked in this week.
In agreeing last month to set flexible caps to restrict price gouging during
electricity shortages, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said the
state and its utilities must agree to let an independent organization manage
California's power transmission lines.
Under that setup, California would be one of a group of Western states
sharing a linked transmission grid whose rates and access rules would be set
by independent managers.
It is part of the commission's drive to create regional electricity markets
throughout the country and make it easier to trade power across state lines.
The regional grids would be a prelude to the nationwide free market in
electricity advocated by the Bush administration and power marketers like
Enron.
But California Assembly Democrats who have challenged the federal demand say
the requirement could interfere with some of the state's homegrown solutions
to its energy crisis, such as Gov. Gray Davis' proposal that the state buy
and run transmission lines owned by Southern California Edison Co.
"A lot of folks were wondering how those two things would interact and are
they mutually exclusive," said Paul Hefner, an aide to Assembly Speaker
Robert Hertzberg, D-Sherman Oaks.
Other officials say the federal requirement is premature because no regional
organization yet exists that California can join.
Mike Florio, a board member of the California Independent System Operator,
which manages the state's power grid, said California is already part of
regional efforts to clear transmission bottlenecks and share surplus power.
But Florio said no Western state will rush into a regional arrangement and
surrender part of its authority without ensuring a good deal for its own
consumers.
"We certainly don't want to be forced into an entity where generators or
power marketers get to dictate the terms," Florio said. "This has got to be a
long courtship rather than a shotgun wedding."
When federal regulators initiated the move toward regional transmission grids
during the Clinton administration in 1999, participation was voluntary, said
Gary Cohen, general counsel to the state Public Utilities Commission.
But in its April 26 order, the federal energy commission made its offer of
limited price relief contingent on a filing by June 1 from the Independent
System Operator committing the state to a regional management plan.
The PUC and the Assembly are challenging that requirement. If anything, Cohen
said, the state needs to increase control over its energy system while it
recovers from its disastrous debut into deregulation, rather than submit to a
regional authority that would be overseen by the federal government.
"This doesn't seem to be the time to be doing more experimenting," Cohen
said. "We certainly have not been able to rely on FERC to look out for the
interests of Californians."
WAITING FOR STATE'S RESPONSE
Curt Hebert, chairman of the federal commission, declined to say yesterday
whether the government would immediately yank the soft price caps that went
into effect this week if it found the ISO response unsatisfactory.
"He said he didn't want to prejudge the case," said commission spokeswoman
Tamara Young-Allen. "He will wait to see what California files."
PUC Commissioner Jeff Brown said he would be willing to give up some state
control of the grid in exchange for meaningful price controls. But, he said,
the federal measures granted fell far short of what California needed.
"Hell, those caps are pretty toothless as they are," Brown said.
The price controls are in effect only during power shortages. The cap is the
price offered by the least-efficient generating plant. And generators can
challenge any federal ruling that they have exceeded the caps, by claiming
high costs.
The controls were in place for the first time yesterday, when the state
declared a Stage 2 power emergency, meaning reserves fell below 5 percent of
available capacity.
Florio said state power managers' answer to the federal government will
probably be that they are already doing within California much of what a
regional transmission organization would do.
ISO COULD PLAY A ROLE
The ISO manages the grid to ensure that power gets to where it is needed in
the state, the organization told federal regulators in January. The agency
could represent California when a Western regional organization develops, it
said.
The governor declined to say yesterday what stand he would take on federal
regulators' demand.
"I'm of a mind to do something, but I still have to talk to my lawyers,"
Davis said.
Assembly Democrats say regulators in Washington have no right to withhold
actions to correct California's dysfunctional power market.
"They're required to . . . ensure that just and reasonable rates prevail in
the market," Hefner said. "Why should we have to dicker to get them to do the
job Congress created them to do?"

Plan would have biggest customers pay Edison's debt
Greg Lucas
Sacramento Bureau Chief
05/31/2001
The San Francisco Chronicle
FINAL
A.5
(Copyright 2001)
Legislative leaders are drafting a new rescue plan for Southern California
Edison that would put the utility back on its feet financially at the expense
of its biggest customers.
The plan would leave manufacturers, refineries and other big industrial
customers with the burden of paying nearly all the utility's $3.5 billion
back debt through a dedicated charge. Residential and small commercial users
would be on the hook for only a fraction of the back debt.
Big users say it is unfair to saddle them with all of Edison's debt, but
supporters of the plan say it's these users that wanted deregulation and
should shoulder the costs it created.
"We're trying to put something together in a way that solves all these
problems, and if people are to be pigheaded about it, we won't solve any
problems," said Assemblyman Fred Keeley, D-Boulder Creek (Santa Cruz County).
Although the plan is an alternative to Gov. Gray Davis' proposed deal to put
Edison back on its feet financially, it could be used as a model to help
restore Pacific Gas and Electric Co. to solvency.
Democrats say the plan contains some elements desired by Republicans, but GOP
lawmakers object to saddling large business users with Edison's debt.
The plan is based on the way gas customers are divided into "core" and
"noncore" users.
SEPARATING 'CORE' USERS
Under this proposal, electrical users would be divided the same way. Core
users would be customers who use 500 kilowatts or less a month. Noncore would
be those using more than 500 kilowatts.
Out of Edison's 4.2 million customers, only 3,600 would be noncore customers.
But those 3,600 customers use about 26 percent of Edison's demand for energy.
Core customers would get their power from generators owned by Edison,
long-term contracts and alternative energy producers, such as wind farms and
solar panels, on contract with the utility.
That would mean those customers would no longer be subject to the whims of
the spot market, which has far higher prices than other sources of
electricity.
Large users, the noncore customers, would be given the right to negotiate to
buy their power directly from generators or build on- site power plants to
make themselves energy self-sufficient.
The plan would be phased in through January 2003 to give large energy
customers time to prepare for buying power on the open market.
During that period, residential, small business and large industrial users
would all share in paying off Edison's debt. But in 2003, that burden would
shift exclusively to the big users.
Republican lawmakers and those same large users have been clamoring to be
given what is called "direct access" to generators so they can negotiate
cheaper rates.
Enron is also backing the idea of cutting loose the largest electricity users
because that would create a built-in market for the energy the company sells.
Large users who want to remain on the grid could do so.
EDISON 'ENCOURAGED'
Sources said Edison officials met with lawmakers over the weekend to iron out
details of the plan.
A spokesman for Edison said he was "encouraged" by the talks.
"I haven't seen a finished product or a plan," said Bob Foster, a senior vice
president with Edison. "They're approaching this in a spirit of goodwill and
trying to find a solution."
Big businesses complain that the plan does not work because right now, there
is nowhere they can buy cheap electricity.
"We're very concerned that separating the core from the noncore means we will
experience extreme rate hikes over the next two years," said D.J. Smith, a
lobbyist for the California Large Energy Consumers Association.
"When you add blackouts, the multiple interruptions of production and another
potentially huge rate hike, the result would be catastrophic to the economy,"
Smith said.
Added Dorothy Rothrock, a lobbyist for the California Manufacturers and
Technology Association: "What's the rationale for the noncore to be paying
the entire Edison undercollection? It sounds to me like just pure politics.
They don't want voters to pay because they vote."
CONSUMER ADVOCATE SMELLS A RAT
Harvey Rosenfield, head of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights,
said he thought the plan would eventually turn into a bailout as business
interests muscle lawmakers into pushing some portion of Edison's debt onto
residential and smaller commercial customers.
"I think it's a trick. We've seen this same tactic used at the Public
Utilities Commission, where what were supposed to be rate increases for big
business end up costing more for residential and small businesses,"
Rosenfield said.
The new plan also does not include the outright purchase of Edison's part of
the transmission system that loops electricity around the state.
Davis backs buying the lines for $2.7 billion. Democrats have insisted that
for the state's financial help, taxpayers receive something of value.
Republicans have insisted that they will back no proposal that includes state
purchase of transmission lines.
In the new proposal, the state would have a five-year option to buy the
transmission lines for $1.2 billion -- the book value of the asset.
In addition, the utility would make $1.5 billion available to the state to
either purchase other assets -- such as Edison's hydroelectric facilities,
for example -- or use it in partnership to build new power plants.

INDIA'S MSEB DOUBTFUL OVER DABHOL'S 10 PCT TARIFF CUT PROPOSAL
05/31/2001

MUMBAI, May 31 Asia Pulse - The Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB)
has expressed serious doubts over Enron-promoted Dabhol Power Company's (DPC)
proposal to reduce its tariff by 10 per cent from the current average to Rs
3.15 per unit.
"Agreed that they have mooted such a proposal verbally, we should not forget
that it is ridden with assumptions, which are unacceptable to the board," the
MSEB sources told PTI here today.

India: Interest rate dichotomy growing wider
05/31/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)
Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) -
Asia Intelligence Wire
MORE than 30 per cent of the targeted Government borrowings for the current
year have been lifted from the market at pretty low yields.
Over the last two months, the Reserve Bank of India seems to have managed
short-term liquidity and interest rates to subserve the larger interest of
making a success of the Centre's borrowing programme.
Over the last two years, the Government has been able to borrow cheap from
the markets - a facility denied to other parts of the economy that have to
borrow at stiff lending rates from the banks.
Banks credit-rate borrowers and only the best get funds - this is perfectly
logical. They also blindly put in funds into Government floats as they are
totally risk-free, which again is perfectly sensible.
Perhaps, in no part of the world is the practice of banking so risk-free as
in Mera Bharat Mahan, with banks carrying NPAs of well over Rs 52,000 crore.
The votaries of higher Government spending should not crib as the Centre's
borrowing programmes have received a huge applause from the banking
community. And the Centre promptly uses the funds on interest payments,
defence and subsidies with capital investment getting to be negative.
Allowing the private sector greater latitude has not curbed the scope of
public sector capital investment. If it has not taken place, it is because
even the Government is reluctant to set up power plants which have to offer
free power to farmers. That is precisely why the private parties are
insisting on escrow accounts.
Over the planning period, public sector investment did not believe in
cost-benefit principles as neck-high taxation levels and subsidies helped to
hide the inefficiency. That is not possible today. In fact, higher savings of
the Indian economy are being wasted more by the Government than by anybody
else; also savings cannot be said to be acting as a restraint to the
investment process.
In the urban sector, there is an interest rate dichotomy with New Delhi
getting easier funds than the corporate world. There is no premium on the
interest rates for Government inefficiency. The same dichotomy prevails in
the rural sector with bank funds flow tapering off and informal channels
busy. Under Indian conditions, higher savings have nowhere to go, making the
cut in contractual savings look sensible.
It hurts not because interest rates are low but because there is no growth to
absorb bank funds.
At this point of time, one may not be able to find the tomes of any
international economist to analyse the Indian economy. High savings, nil
growth, steep Government borrowings and pervasive hunger and the rest cannot
be reconciled into a neat econometric equation.
Only growth can help. Sure we (our patriotic politicians and bureaucrats)
allowed Enron to milk us. Today, if you are not a critic of Enron, you are
bound to be dubbed a traitor. But can the Maharashtra State Electricity Board
(MSEB) make money and get bank funds if has to provide power free to large
sections of the public? Can it get some funds to revamp the existing plants?
For us, there is progress in getting stuck at the Hindu growth rate of 3 per
cent to getting stranded at the Orange growth rate of 6 per cent as breaking
free is not in us.

India: Enron willing to continue project
05/31/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)
Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) -
Asia Intelligence Wire
MUMBAI, May 30. ENRON today updated Indian lenders about the status of the
project and discussed ways for resolution of the current crisis.
According to sources, Enron showed a willingness to continue with the project
even after all the problems. Mr Wade Cline, Managing Director, is understood
to have told the lenders that even though DPC had mentioned about taking a 10
per cent cut on its returns, it would not do so unilaterally.
According to Mr Cline, the adjustments that Enron could make are contingent
upon other parties too making an effort to make concessions. He made a
presentation to the lenders about the current status of the project and the
problems.
Meanwhile, Dabhol Power Company today clarified that it has not "shut down"
its plant. A spokesman said the plant continues to be "operational" as
required by the power purchase agreement (PPA). He, however, confirmed that
the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) has not issued despatch
instructions since 12 noon on May 29.
He also said the company is "currently" not planning to terminate the PPA
prior to the lapse of six months after the serving of the preliminary
termination notice.
Sources said that even though MSEB is not purchasing power from DPC, the
company is not likely to default on its payments to lenders. This is because
DPC has some money left from the disbursements of the first phase of the
project. It can use the money to service its debt. It can, however, not
transfer the amount to the second phase without the lenders' permission.
The company also has a sizable amount of "completion equity" over and above
the base equity to bring in if it chooses to continue construction.
According to sources, the Indian lenders today wanted to know from Enron
whether it is actually willing to stay back and complete the project or walk
away. It appeared they are willing to stay, but only without conceding too
much.
Top MSEB officials said as far as MSEB is concerned, "DPC power may be
available, but we would not take it. We are not recognising the PPA any
more". They said the board had given the option to the company saying it
would buy power and make payments according to the PPA but on an ad hoc
basis. The adjustments could be made at a later date.
"However, they threw it back to us saying you cannot have your cake and eat
it too. So we decided to keep the cake," a State Government official said.

INDIA'S DABHOL SHUTS POWER PLANT, TO ISSUE TERMINATION NOTICE
05/31/2001
Asia Pulse
(c) Copyright 2001 Asia Pulse PTE Ltd.
MUMBAI, May 31 Asia Pulse - Amidst a rash of allegations and legal wrangles,
the US energy major Enron-promoted Dabhol Power Company (DPC) has shut down
the US$3 billion Guhagar plant and is set to issue the Termination Notice to
its partner the Maharashtra State Electricty Board (MSEB).
With the MSEB not drawing power since last noon, the multinational had no
option but to shut down the plant as MSEB is their sole customer, a member of
the Godbole committee, set up for re-negotiating the power purchase agreement
with the DPC, told PTI here Wednesday.
"DPC is reeling under tremendous pressure from its lenders who have already
given the multinational a go-ahead for a wrap up by terminating the
contract," he added.
He said the Enron India chief, K Wade Cline, had conveyed DPC lenders' nod
for the termination to the Committee members yesterday and had said "we will
have to terminate the contract, if no solution is found to this grave crisis.
As it is, even now DPC cannot see a way out".
The DPC had served a Preliminary Termination Notice to MSEB on May 19.
"Even though there exists a cushion period of six months, the energy major
will issue the notice," the official said.
On the other hand, MSEB officials are not worried over the termination of the
contract. "MSEB has already rescinded the PPA. So even if they terminate the
contract, it hardly matters to us," they said.
Meanwhile, the Godbole committee would meet the MSEB officials on June six,
but DPC representatives have not been invited for the same.

Report on Business: Managing
Working Life
That's right, double-click there, sir Techies, executives cross-pollinate as
reverse mentoring gains ground

GE Plastics executive Jay Pomeroy knew familiarity with the Web was fast
becoming an essential part of his job. So, to help him get up to speed, his
company paired him with Gen-Xer Amelia Burkhart, a tech savvy thirtysomething
at the Pittsfield firm who used her on-line experience to show the
46-year-old senior manager the ropes.
"I brought him knowledge of the Internet realm," said Ms. Burkhart, global
manager of e-plastics.com, GE Plastics' on-line division. "He has to deal
with people from other regions and countries. We actually conducted a virtual
meeting so that he would understand how to participate in meetings on-line."
She added: "Before mentoring, you would never see Jay's name on a same-time
chat. Now he is on a lot and he's become a pretty avid Internet user."
Call it reverse mentoring -- a form of one-on-one coaching that gives younger
techies a chance to teach senior executives how to surf the Net, use instant
messaging, collaborate with a team in real time, find new business
applications, or explore the ins and outs of buying products on-line.
It's a relationship that's also a two-way street: one that allows corporate
greenhorns to seek advice from seasoned executives to help hone the
managerial skills and relationships they need to advance in the workplace.
Specialists say reverse mentoring is one way established companies like
General Electric are embracing the Internet in order to survive -- and thrive
-- in a technology-driven world. The practice, which began in Europe, is now
taking hold in the United States as young workers bring newfound energy and
skills to Old Economy companies once labelled slow-moving monoliths.
Joel Kurtzman, co-author of a new book titled Radical E: From GE to Enron --
Lessons on How to Rule the Web, says the interchange between mentoring pairs
is a form of cross-pollination: Students gain new knowledge; mentors gain
valuable institutional information from veterans whose political astuteness
and management savvy helped them succeed.
Ms. Burkhart, for example, says the program helped her develop a relationship
with Mr. Pomeroy, who returned the favour by providing tips on managing her
career at GE. He also shared some of his institutional knowledge, and he
remains a close contact at the firm. "We now have a relationship that has
blossomed," said Ms. Burkhart. "It's also been good exposure for me."
Glenn Rifkin, co-author of Radical E, says the trend is one of the more
positive results of the dot-com boom. "For the first time, entrenched
business people and companies have had their eyes opened to the fact that
there are now some really smart young people in their corporate settings who
can teach them new things," he said.
The authors, who spent months interviewing mature companies with well-known
brands, are convinced the future will be shaped by Old Economy "hybrids" --
companies that combine the best practices from e-commerce and older
brick-and-mortar firms. This, they say, is a more radical form of reverse
mentoring in which Net companies with little business knowledge are paired
with established firms, or young employees at mature companies find new ways
to do business on-line.
Some of those companies include General Motors, Procter & Gamble, GE, and
Houston-based Enron, a global energy company. GE, the first Old Economy firm
to endorse and use reverse mentoring in the United States, began a formal
program two years ago after chief executive officer Jack Welch introduced the
concept. The company has since paired dozens of workers in a push to bring
key people into the computer age and expand the company's market to include
cyberspace.
Procter & Gamble began encouraging IT employees to participate in an informal
reverse mentoring program last year. "Because technology changes so rapidly,
individuals pair up with people who seem to be more adept at the latest
application," said P&G spokeswoman Vicky Mayer.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the Wharton School has implemented a program that
helps top executives from around the world bring New Economy practices into
Old Economy firms. One feature of the e-fellows program: Mentoring sessions
staffed by MBA students in their 20s who share their knowledge with seasoned
corporate leaders.
Wharton e-fellows learn how to use the Internet to reshape their firms. Over
the course of three weeks, e-fellows spend time at the business school's
Philadelphia campus, in Silicon Valley, and at an international site. The
program began in September.
Executives are paired with MBA students in a one-on-one match. "Typically,
these students are Internet savvy and they live in a world where e-business
and business are synonymous," said Neil Neveras, director of e-business at
Wharton's e-fellows program.
Mary Dolan, a 37-year-old manager at Random House, was among the first
Wharton e-fellows to participate in the program last year.
"My background was more publishing driven than e-commerce driven," said Ms.
Dolan, now director of e-book sales for the New York publisher. "The program
gave me a broader grasp and view of the world at large, beyond the niche area
of publishing."
Ms. Dolan was paired with 27-year-old David Turrettino, then a first-year MBA
student. Mr. Turrettino taught Ms. Dolan how to collaborate with her peers
using Wharton's Net tools. Since the program is team-based, Ms. Dolan learned
to conduct meetings on the Net and experiment with on-line business models.
"This is a partnership between the generations," said Mr. Kurtzman, a global
partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers. "But at the height of the dot-com boom,
people were saying strategy is dead. . . . Now there is an understanding that
you must have the business savvy that comes with experience."
Mr. Pomeroy, of GE Plastics, says having a Web presence has paid off. "At GE
Plastics we took a presence on the Web, which was about $10-million [U.S.] in
sales revenues in 1998, and expanded it to $1.5-billion in business by 2000,"
he said. "This year, we expect to do close to $4-billion in business
on-line."
Mr. Pomeroy said Ms. Burkhart helped him use the Net with greater ease.
"Now, everything we do is predicated on the internal or external Web," said
Mr. Pomeroy. "Everything is on that square screen that sits on our desks."

Enron Willing To Continue India Power Project - Report
05/31/2001
Dow Jones International News
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
NEW DELHI -(Dow Jones)- U.S. based power major Enron Corp. (ENE) may be
willing to continue with its India project the Dabhol Power Co., Wade Cline,
managing director of Enron's indian unit, told the projects Indian lenders,
the Business Line newspaper reports Thursday.
Cline told lenders that Dabhol Power could make adjustments, including a 10%
cut in power tariffs, but it wouldn't do so unilaterally, the news report
added. Any adjustments would depend on similar concessions from purchasing
parties.
The $3-billion Dabhol Power project, India's biggest foreign investment
project, is situated in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.
The project, which will generate 2,184 megawatts of power when the second
phase is completed later this year, is at the center of a power supply
dispute between the state government of Maharashtra and Dabhol Power over
what the government claims are "unaffordable" power tariffs. The dispute has
unnerved foreign lenders.
Tuesday, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board stopped buying power from
the two-year-old Dabhol plant. The move came five days after the MSEB told
DPC that it was canceling the 1995 Power Purchasing Agreement between the two
parties that sets electricity prices.
MSEB officials said Wednesday that the Dabhol plant has stopped producing
electricity.
The news report however quoted a Dabhol Power official as saying that while
the MSEB had stopped dispatch instructions, the plant continued to be
operational.
MSEB was Dabhol's only buyer.
