Dear Eric,  There are several hearings and at least one markup scheduled on Wednesday from Capitol Hill.  Washington Bureau Chief Peter Cook reports members of Congress will be considering the expansion of alternative energy production on federal lands and looking at ways to improve safety at nuclear plants.    Also on Wednesday, CTN, INGAA and the AGA are sponsoring a major energy conference.  Panelists at the conference include FERC Commissioner Nora Mead Brownell, energy attorney and former FERC Commissioner Don Santa and Curt Launer of Credit Suisse First Boston among others.  The Washington bureau will have updates from the conferences Wednesday morning.   Also from the Washington bureau, National Academy of Sciences Senior Program Officer Alan Crane will stop by to give us a preview of the hearing on Friday revisiting CAFE standards.  He'll join us during the 1:00 p.m. ET newscast on Wednesday.     The Houston bureau will have an update on Rep. Joe Barton (R) Texas, and a portion of his electricity bill concerning Regional Transmission Organizations that's expected to be released soon. Rep. Barton also talks about ERCOT, operators of 85% of the Texas power grid, and how the organization is a model for these RTOs.    Jacobs Consultancy Incorporated Managing Director  Karl Bartholomew will join us from the Houston bureau on Wednesday. He'll discuss how the industry will be affected by lowering the sulfur content in diesel fuel during the noon ET newscast tomorrow.   On Wednesday from the West Coast bureau, California Governor  Gray Davis' Press Secretary Steve Maviglio talks about what compromises are being made to push a Southern California Edison bailout plan through the State Legislature.   ENL's Kym McNicholas says we'll also have more on the California PUC's decision on the CDWR Rate Agreement and reaction from the Governor's office.  And California ISO Spokesperson Gregg Fishman responds to concerns that the grid operator has violated the FERC's orders on creditworthiness.  Log on Wednesday for these reports from the West Coast bureau.   Daily Update Note: You can now send today's Daily Update to a friend.
