Mark & Richard: Since I have the benefit of reading the WSJ on my commute
into the City, I thought I would just let you know if you had not see it
already that there is a follow up article today to yesterday's article about
the tremendous losses being absorbed by PG&E and SoCalEd due to the spike in
wholesale power prices. The article today, not surprisingly, talks about the
significant 3Q earnings that are anticipated to be reported by the
unregulated generating companies (E.g., Reliant, NRG and Southern) that
purchased the plants from PG&E and SoCalEd. While this "news" is not
unexpected, it nonetheless is the type of article that tends to excite
consumer advocates, politicians and regulators since it focuses on what it
calls the "irony" of the utilities now suffering huge losses (which
ultimately will be borne by consumers to some, and perhaps a large, extent)
from having to buy power from assets they once owned. Obviously, the concern
is that the rhetoric overtakes a rational examination of the system. I know
that each of you are following this situation very closely, but I thought I
would just drop you a quick note in any event. John
