Enron will very vigorously support the CS and I would hope that we could get
as many people as possible to do the same. Let's face it, California's gas industry is a mess for the same reasons the electricity industry is a mess (despite, and perhaps contrary to, the substantially more narrow reasoning offered by the Brattle Group). The CS is a well-thought-out, well-designed program for moving forward; unlike the "interim," which takes two steps back. Can we split up the names of all the people who signed on and call them and try to get them to show up in support?

I'm planning to continue to support the CS. It brings some greater stability and certainty to SoCalGas' noncore rates. The allocation of backbone capacity might improve shippers' certainty of being able to move gas through Topock and Wheeler Ridge. In the short term, it's hard to say how much that might help prices, but I doubt that it would make them worse. In the longer term, if new generation on the PG&E and Kern / Mojave systems, plus the North Baja and Questar lines, actually reduce SoCalGas' throughput, then a SoCalGas city-gate market might be pretty competitive. Finally, the CS removes SoCalGas' favorite argument in favor of the peaking rate. So what are Edison and Enron going to do?
