Its all corporate graft. Here in Houston (home of Enron, which has been
fighting a court order to sell power to California), our energy costs are
expected to triple this summer. Why? Even in August, Texas' month of peak
demand, our energy production is 25% higher than demand. These corporate
pirates use the California energy crisis as an excuse to rape local consumers.
The news recently reported that the CEO of Enron earned a $7 million bonus for
last fiscal year. $7 million, yet my energy bill is going to triple?! It's
still a rich man's world.
