Dear Eric,  Senate Democrats introduced their comprehensive energy legislation on Wednesday.  The legislation differs significantly from the Republican energy bill that passed the House last summer, but the proposals share similar elements.  The Washington bureau will bring us more reaction on the legislation on Thursday.   Also from Capitol Hill, the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee will look into the debate over Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards.  Democrats want to include a CAFE increase in their comprehensive bill.       Finally, Representative Joe Barton (R-TX) will join ENL to give us the details about his legislation on electricity restructuring, which is to be completed and introduced this week. Join us for the Rep. Barton interview on Thursday from the Hill.   ENL West Coast Correspondent Kym McNicholas wraps up her three-part series on geothermal energy on Thursday.  Kym tells us why Mother Nature is having trouble keeping up with demand at "The Geysers," and what companies are doing to make geothermal production more efficient and reliable in Northern California.   Kym also reports live from Las Vegas Thursday and Friday at the Day of the Trader Conference.  Analysts and experts are expected to discuss Enron's demise and the potential impact on the markets.  Don't miss live reports from the conference tomorrow.   Members of Congress are expected in Houston on Thursday to question Enron executives.  The Securities & Exchange Commission is turning up the heat on the investigation of the former energy giant with lawmakers questioning whether new laws may be needed in the wake of Enron's implosion.  We'll keep you abreast of any Enron developments from Houston throughout the day.   The Houston bureau will also have the latest Thursday from the IADC/OOC Drilling Gulf of Mexico Conference 2001, including reports on the high-tech exhibits and discussion from leaders in the field of offshore drilling.
