We'll try to set something up later. | dev37 |
In the meantime, the Governor should just sign the bill. | dev37 |
Of course, Hettie had already communicated this; the Gov's office acknowledged that the message was recieved but did not make a specific commitment. | dev37 |
Any interest? | dev37 |
Decline. | dev37 |
I think it looks fine; will defer to Jeff's edits. | dev37 |
Thanks. | dev37 |
Please keep me on the list for the more detailed management report as well. | dev37 |
attached is Sen. Hagel's energy speech. | dev37 |
He focusses on oil primarily but also does a nice job of framing the importance of sound energy policy to our continued economic growth. | dev37 |
At the end of the article there is a presidential straw poll. | dev37 |
It shows Bush with only a 6 point lead among oil and gas industry executives and analysts. | dev37 |
Joe - could you or someone in the office get in touch with Michelle? | dev37 |
Thanks | dev37 |
I understand from Shelley that you are going to be seeing Commissioner Breathitt on Monday. | dev37 |
We have been working to persuade her to vote for forceful FERC action on electricity issues. | dev37 |
She is widely viewed as the swing vote (with Massey and Hoecker being the other two votes) needed for the Commission to take action. | dev37 |
Attached are two documents -- one is a set of talking points for you and the second is a FERC action plan that we are floating with several of the Commissioners. | dev37 |
fyi - there has been some concern that this deal was being put together without Connecticut authorities knowing the full extent of our interest in | dev37 |
No special requirements, but it's good to keep track of in case we want a point of contact. | dev37 |
Thanks | dev37 |
You should plan to be there. | dev37 |
I think he was looking to make a sector-wide point. | dev37 |
For example, how much of the total market moved to wholesale traded volumes? | dev37 |
He wants to make the point that even a nontraded commodity - ie electricity in 1994 - can rapidly progress to a traded market - as electricity did between 94 and 00. | dev37 |
great news! | dev37 |
Keep up the good work. | dev37 |
Stephen D Burns | dev37 |
any interest? | dev37 |
Joe - there is no announcement today. | dev37 |
I tried to leave you a voicemail but apparently the system is down there. | dev37 |
Before we can offer an outside person a VP position, the Executive Committee must sign off. | dev37 |
We are going to be going through that process in a few minutes. | dev37 |
Then we begin the offer extension and negotiations. | dev37 |
The person we are recommending is Linda Robertson, one of the two people I mentioned to you before. | dev37 |
Please guard the information carefully. | dev37 |
Last time we talked, when the list had been narrowed to two, DeLay's office called with the exact two names and started pushing us to hire a Republican. | dev37 |
As you know we interviewed candidates of both political affiliations and just settled on the best person. | dev37 |
Ken told DeLay's office that's how we do things and Ken is comfortable (actually enthused) about the choice. | dev37 |
When some external announcement is done, you will be involved and your considerable contributions will be prominently mentioned. | dev37 |
Looks good. | dev37 |
I think you implicitly say this, but I think you should make it more explicit: The continued growth of the new economy is threatened by our electricity infrastructure more than anything else. | dev37 |
The high tech industry requires market driven solutions to reliability and pricing not the old style command and control regulated monopoly approach. | dev37 |
Let's start getting the word out! | dev37 |
Thanks, I hope we get there soon. | dev37 |
yes | dev37 |
yes | dev37 |
Rosie - please print and have signed. | dev37 |
(Note there is a typo in the second line of the last paragraph -- does should be "do"). | dev37 |
thanks | dev37 |
Thanks, Chris. | dev37 |
Rick - see the witness list below, in case you want to try to get some points through to these witnesses. | dev37 |
Zausner is kind of a mixed bag. | dev37 |
I think he's strong intellectually and has some influence, but I don't trust him to keep our strategy and contacts confidential. | dev37 |
Isn't our primary problem with AEP's internal merchant function rather than with the marketing affiliate (I realize we have problems with the affiliate too)? | dev37 |
Can we protest continued market based rate authority for AEP until they have surrendered native load priority? | dev37 |
More indications that the power angle may be fruitful | dev37 |
The senator's speech is focused on the oil sector almost exclusively, but it does an exceptional job of framing the importance of the issue. | dev37 |
Eliz -- I need your group to put together a search which captures the comments of PG&E and Edison officials in trade press, anlyst reports, and speeches which would be inconsistent with the idea that they can now recover their shortfall. | dev37 |
In other words, when they were trying to get AB 1890 passed, when they were fighting Proposition 9, when they floated their "rate reduction bonds" and when they talked to analysts and rating agencies I'm sure they assumed that they would live under the rate freeze and take the risk of stranded cost recovery whithin the statutory deadline. | dev37 |
Looks good. | dev37 |
How about a point about the need to connect new generation quickly. | dev37 |
Enron, Margaret Carson/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Rob Bradley/Corp/Enron@ENRON, mpalmer@enron.com, Karen Denne/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Jeff cc: Subject: Draft Letter to FERC by Consumer Groups Below is my first rough draft of a letter that could be sent from consumersto FERC Chairman Hoecker. | dev37 |
Due to technical difficulties, I could not attacthe letter in a separate document, so I copied the letter and have reprinteit below. | dev37 |
Having never been involved in this type of letter writing campaign, this waa bit of a stab in the dark for me, so I welcome everyone's comments. | dev37 |
I amalso working on a letter that could be sent by senior management or CEOs ofhigh tech firms, but I wanted to get your feedback on this format before Iwent forward on the high tech letter. | dev37 |
Let me know if you have any questions or comments. | dev37 |
Sarah The Honorable James Hoecker Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, N.E. | dev37 |
Washington, D.C. Re: Electric Power Industry Reform Dear Chairman Hoecker: We are consumers or represent consumers of electric power. | dev37 |
We write to urgyou and your colleagues to take the initiative to address the intolerableshortages and extreme price volatility that have become all too common in the electric power industry. | dev37 |
It is imperative that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission proceed expeditiously with the reforms needed to support a competitive and efficient power supply industry to ensure a reliable supplyof power at the lowest possible cost to consumers. | dev37 |
There are many actions you and your colleagues should take to ensure that the power supply in the U.S. remains sufficient and is available at reasonableprices. | dev37 |
For example, you and your colleagues should remove roadblocks in the nation,s electricity gird. | dev37 |
Under the current system, FERC regulations amany companies that own transmission systems to restrict access to their transmission lines by competing electricity suppliers. | dev37 |
The result of thispolicy is shortages, blackouts and skyrocketing prices. | dev37 |
Like the interstathighway system, FERC should allow electricity to move from one state to another just as freely as motorists do. | dev37 |
All electricity suppliers shouldhave the same access to the transmission lines in order to transport power to where it is most needed. | dev37 |
FERC should also discourage electricity suppliers, reliance on spot andshort-term electricity markets for power supply. | dev37 |
Instead, FERC should urgesuppliers to purchase a portion of their power needs under long-term contracts. | dev37 |
Locking in electricity costs at fixed prices protects consumersfrom unexpected price swings that can be financially devastating. | dev37 |
We strongly urge you and your colleagues to seize the initiative on thesereforms. | dev37 |
Consumers deserve a power supply industry that is both more reliable and economical. | dev37 |
Very truly yours, | dev37 |
I don't know. | dev37 |
Can we get someone in IT to respond? | dev37 |
FYI | dev37 |
It's fine with me. | dev37 |
Please send regrets | dev37 |
See if there is anythiing of use in here for your high tech group messages. | dev37 |
Please post the JP MOrgan doc. | dev37 |
on our site | dev37 |
See if she wants to meet with me when I get back. | dev37 |
Please post and circulate to the team. | dev37 |
Please pst and circulate to the team. | dev37 |
We probably need to open a new section on the site to adress gas prices. | dev37 |
Submit a Pac request and keep Tom posted on when and where. | dev37 |
I think I confirmed for this already, but could you check and put on my calendar and put this in the meeting file. | dev37 |
I think it's a good document and carves out some solid policy ground for Bush. | dev37 |
I think the electricity section needs some additions though. | dev37 |
There is not a lot that the current administration can do about siting new plants and power lines -- its largely a state and local decision. | dev37 |
