Stormy's Post prompted me to post this.

Recently saw a documentary on TV titled:

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Good piece of it was how blatant Enron people bought stock/options,
purposely shut Calif power down to spike power prices then sold to make
millions. I mean they has audio of the people laughing as they shut stuff
off. Conversations to the effect of caller: How about shutting down xxxxxx
with call recipient responding: Oh yea sure, no problem.

An eye opener for me.

That's very possible. I had thought it was the
environmentalists and the attorney types who were (are)
responsible.

It's not "very possible" .... it is exactly what happened.

They manipulated the power market by restricting production and then
took advantage of the "price spikes".

They were crooks. A lot got exactly what they deserved ......long
prison sentences & loss of personal wealth.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of collateral damage.
