Don't really trust something advocating for deregulated energy markets to not mention the elephant in the room.

the big issue with enron was semi-fraudulent accounting, not market manipulation. the stuff they puleld in cali was pretty slimy but i don't think something nearly thirty years old needs mention. any more than it does if a company wants to use mark-to-market accounting.

Nothing has changed in twenty years. Texans still hate California, businesses still exploit people for profit.

Sorry, Enron was rigging brownouts to seek profit. How many people do you think these brownouts killed? That goes well beyond "pretty slimy."
