Blackouts, credit crunch, electric and gas price volatility, low hydro levels--? and we're not even near the summer.?? What are we facing?? Now is the time to think, to plan, to solve tomorrow's problems before they arise.?? Join us at the Power Marketing Association's Seventh Annual Spring Meeting: Power Markets 2001: CRISIS AND OPPORTUNITY:? MARCH 14-16, 2001, Aladdin Hotel, Las Vegas, NV. Crisis grabs the attention, but the opportunities are almost palpable.? Just click on the headline for the full story at powermarketers.com: SENATE PANEL PROBES EMERGENCY NATURAL GAS ORDER? A Senate committee on Friday sharply questioned the way a Cold War-era law has been used to keep California's natural gas flowing.???Use of the 1950 Defense Production Act to compel suppliers to sell to financially strapped Pacific Gas and Electric Co., California's largest utility, was a legal stretch that could theoretically leave taxpayers holding the bag, said Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas. CRAIG HYDROELECTRIC POWER BILL TO STREAMLINE LICENSING PROCESS With an energy crisis that is quickly seeping out from California to Idaho and other western states, the Senate is considering legislation that would streamline the licensing of hydroelectric power plants.?? The bill would place FERC back at the helm of the licensing process, reinstating its authority to balance environmental and corporate interests under the Federal Power Act. WESTERN LEADERS TALK ENERGY GOVERNORS SEEK TO SPEED POWER PLANT CONSTRUCTION Facing an energy crisis expected to worsen by summer, 10 Western governors on Friday asked the Bush administration to streamline environmental regulations in an effort to speed construction of new power plants.? The request came as Western leaders meeting in Portland predicted California-style blackouts could plague the drought-stricken Pacific Northwest this summer unless the federal government intervenes immediately. CAPSTONE LAUNCHING GENERATOR SALES PUSH POWER SHORTAGE CREATES MARKET Moving to capitalize on California's energy crisis, Capstone Turbine Corp. said Wednesday it is launching a subsidiary to serve that market while boosting the staff that sells its innovative power generators. NEW POWER PLANTS NEEDED QUICKLY Hoping to stave off summer blackouts, California will dramatically speed up the approval process for new power plants in hopes of adding electricity for 5 million homes by July, Gov. Gray Davis said Thursday.?? Under an executive order, Davis said the state will cut red tape and give bonuses to small power plants that operate only during peak hours of the day, provided those facilities can be up and running by summer. ?
