I'm trying again.
dev33
Please let me know if you get this one.
dev33
Thanks, and sorry about the mixup.
dev33
Best, Jeff

That's a great idea, and I think that it would be useful to meet with her.
dev33
In fact, I think it's important to meet one-on-one with as many legislators as possible, because I agree that the facts are pretty darned friendly.
dev33
I'll look into setting up a meeting with her.
dev33
Bowen in particular is being advised by enviros who think de-regulation is still the best way to go.
dev33
And if it weren't for the for the "undercollection/refund" issues, I think that she'd be pushing to move ahead.
dev33
Unfortunately, while she may not be focused principally on a hanging, that's likely to be where the hearing goes.
dev33
She's been unable in past to control Peace at her hearings.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Mona and I plan to be in Sacramento tomorrow at an AB 1890 Implementation Group meeting.
dev33
I think that Sue also has a conflict.
dev33
My thought was to have someone from the PR firm that Karen has brought on go and report back.
dev33
I'm supposed to give a presentation on gas tomorrow, but it's not a problem for me to cancel and go to S.D.
dev33
if we think that it's vital for one of us to be there in person.
dev33
Thoughts?
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Thanks Harry.
dev33
This is important and we've discussed making sure that Neil and Jubran (and you, for that matter) be included in any distribution that includes ENA West.
dev33
Consider it done.
dev33
Unless others have any problems, I suggest that going forward any emails, materials, phone conversations, etc. that include ENA also include EES.
dev33
I don't think that we have any legal issues associated with including both ENA and EES, but if I'm missing something, please let me know.
dev33
Thoughts?
dev33
plz call.
dev33
re: phil harris of PJM is on my panel today.
dev33
want to discuss.
dev33
Keep in mind that there will be 3 Davis appointees come the first of the year.
dev33
Right now the Wilson, Republican commissioners, still hold a 3-2 majority on the Commission.
dev33
My apologies.
dev33
Thank you very much.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
We said no.
dev33
If Karen thinks it would be useful to have the PR firm go and report back, that's how we'll handle it.
dev33
Otherwise, we'll get reports from others.
dev33
Other commitments win out over FERC's "open mike."
dev33
Welcome Chris.
dev33
I can meet during the break.
dev33
Been on two panels in the last two weeks with Florio--most recent yesterday.
dev33
Dan Richard of PG&E was also on yesterday's panel.
dev33
Mike has now come so far as to push the "core/noncore" split a la the gas industy publicly (if you just wait long enough, people come around).
dev33
Dan Richard did not object.
dev33
I am pretty suspect about PG&E, though.
dev33
Dan Richard said things like: I'm one of the people in my company who believes that, over time, the utility should exit the procurement function, but many policy makers want PG&E to act as a "quasi-governmental" body offering reliable, low cost service to small customers.
dev33
I don't think anyone wants anyone's mother to be thrown to the competitive market willy nilly.
dev33
People have to understand that the large customers are going to take all of the "good" power, leaving the "dregs" for small customers.
dev33
While I'm skeptical of PG&E--Dan said what he knew people wanted to hear but there was little conviction behind the words--there is certainly an opening that we should try to exploit.
dev33
In addition, Florio is now publicly agreeing pretty strongly that the gas model for utility procurement is one that merits a heck-of-a-lot of attention, i.e., set a benchmark, get the CPUC out of the way, and let the utility live or die by the benchmark.
dev33
There's daylight among the stakeholders, but a very large amount of uncertaintly regarding whether the administration, its appointees, and/or the Legislature will get on board.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Can we try Friday at 10 am, again?
dev33
As uncomfortable as it sometimes is, I feel compelled to comment on what in my humble opinion are quite troubling statements, particularly when those statements come from the mouths of self-described liberal, open minded, diversity-loving hipsters.
dev33
I have a very hard time with stereotyping of any sort, and a very, very hard time when it comes from people I'm close to.
dev33
Believe it or not, in the past, I would have been much more aggressive about it.
dev33
Guess I've mellowed.
dev33
Sorry if it made things, well, fidgety.
dev33
(I've come to grips with the fact that deep down, I tend to trend toward socially libertarian and sometimes even anarchist views---oh well.) Best, Jeff
dev33
Sorry that I've been incommunicado.
dev33
At the UC Berkeley conference yesterday, and on my way to an AB 1890 meeting to present on gas in about 5 minutes.
dev33
Got your message re: PR firm.
dev33
Sounds good.
dev33
When I'm back in tomorrow, I'll fill you in on yesterday's conference and today's meeting.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Dub and I are going to go to Stinson/Bolinas to seela the deal on Saturday morning/afternoon prior to going to Napa for Nancy's Bday on Sat night.
dev33
Would love to have you two join, but worry not if you've got conflicts.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Greetings: Sorry to bother you with this, but I'm travelling, and if you could leave the call-in number for tomorrow's meeting on my voice mail, I'll be forever indebted.
dev33
Thanks a bunch.
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
Thank you very much for the summary.
dev33

dev33
Glad to hear you're coming.
dev33
I'll be sure to wear the lime green shirt....
dev33
Best, Jeff
dev33
See you then.
dev33
Sorry, I was out of the office all day.
dev33
Hope you got there.
dev33
I don't have any number.
dev33
You need to just drop by there and buzz the manager.
dev33
Try from 8-5, when someone's usually there.
dev33
Sorry, babe.
dev33
My apologies.
dev33
I've been meaning to come in, but figured that at some point the Telebears on the Web would work.
dev33
But no luck.
dev33

Thanks.
dev33
FYI.
dev33
Attached is a presentation on gas markets that I gave to an electricity group yesterday.
dev33
The group was formed out of California's restructuring legislation (AB 1980).
dev33
It's called the "AB 1980 Implementation Group" (I heard that the group decided that its time to change its name.).
dev33
The group includes just about all of the interest groups in California.
dev33
I focused on the fact that gas offers a model of a "real" market that California should look to in order to fix the "artificial" and failed electricity model created by AB 1980.
