> I ran into Steve Weissman, the Commission's new Energy Re-Restructuring
> Czar, and got some information about the "evidentiary" hearings to be held
> in San Diego. He told me that the additional two days of hearings will be
> canceled, so the only day of hearings will be this Friday.  It won't
> really be like the usual Commission evidentiary hearing.  Instead,
> representatives of the PX and ISO will present some of the findings of
> their Market Surveillance Committees on this summer's events.  In
> addition, Harvey Morris of the Commission may moderate a panel on gas
> prices (for those of you who don't know him, Harvey has been the PUC's
> point man on gas issues at the FERC for years now, and the preceding may
> have been the first time "Harvey Morris" and "moderate" have been used in
> the same sentence).  Also there will be a presentation on the Project
> Reclaim air emissions credit program.  So the idea is to get information
> on the three main reasons that have been cited to explain the electricity
> prices this summer.  All this is primarily a preface for the Legislative
> Committee hearings to be held in San Diego on Monday, and FERC
> investigative hearings to be held on Tuesday.  The schedule, topics, and
> participants for Friday's hearings are still somewhat up in the air, but
> this information was current as of about 1 p.m. this afternoon.  After
> this flurry of activity, Steve expects and hopes that things will quiet
> down for a while.
