Expedited siting in California

I spoke with Dan this morning and conveyed our lack of enthusiasm with the
Gov's siting improvements. Do you have any concrete examples of why the
siting is still not adequate and what can be done to improve it? Also, what
is Cisco's position on Calpine's San Jose facility? I thought that Cisco
opposed the plant.

Subject: Expedited siting in California

as you all know, Gov. Davis has gone to great lengths to highlight the
improvements he's made in the siting and permitting of new energy
generation. however, I have heard from some industry analysts that things
aren't working as well as advertised. do you have any insight on this
issue? I'd like to know if the process has been drastically improved or
just marginally.

if you're not satisfied with the process, what could be done to improve it?
