Subj: Calpine, Enron, El Paso, STCAG From: my_spam_trap@yahoo.com (John Ladasky) Hi, folks, It has been over two years since I had to exit from the fight against Metcalf, and relocate to Maryland. I hope that you are all doing well -- at least, as well as one can expect after being betrayed by the city and state governments. We suspected all along that California was being manipulated, and now the truth is coming out. El Paso Gas admits to withholding natural gas. Enron admits to withholding electrical power for the spot market, and signing contracts which siphoned power OUT of California, in order to trigger power alerts. At the peak of this industry-manufactured crisis, Calpine threw a 50-yard touchdown pass, and landed a power plant on a green-field site in San Jose, right next to established residential neighborhoods, in an area that the city had zoned for campus industrial development. We all know that the Metcalf Energy Center would have never been approved, without the atmosphere of panic that existed at the time. Where is the Mercury News story making the obvious connection between these events? Where is the story that describes the CEC re-evaluating the applications for controverisal power plants which were approved during 2000-2001? I have been logging in to bayarea.com for weeks, expecting to see some development. There has been nothing. It appears that the Santa Teresa Citizens' Action Group has taken their lawsuit to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. While I wish that they had started to prepare legal action a year sooner, I'm glad that it's finally happening. Presumably, the El Paso and Enron admissions will inform their case? If something is happening below the media radar, please let us know! -- |
