Dear Eric,  President Bush delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday our Washington bureau will bring us complete coverage of the speech as it relates to energy.  During his address, the President will likely discuss the pending debate in the U.S. Senate over comprehensive energy legislation.  President Bush is not expected to mention Enron by name, but he's expected to touch on some of the issues raised by the company's bankruptcy.   There's a regular Federal Energy Regulatory Commission meeting on Wednesday.  There are a host of issues on the agenda including the Commission's new push to address market power and the California case.   Finally from Washington, in the wake of the Enron implosion, there's talk of a new lobbying effort on behalf of electricity restructuring.  Former FERC Chairman James Hoecker is spearheading the effort and will talk with us during the 10:00 a.m. ET newscast tomorrow about where those efforts stand.   Altira Managing Partner Dirk McDermott talks about challenges new energy companies face when trying to find investors, especially since the Enron crisis.  On Wednesday in the Houston bureau, we'll hear from McDermott and have details on his speech from Energy Venture Fair II, where he addressed the issue.   Also from Houston, AES New Energy President Clem Palevich talks about the challenges his company faces in the new Texas electric deregulated market in Texas.     Bonneville Power Administration Spokesperson Mike Hansen will join West Coast Correspondent Kym McNicholas during the 1:00 p.m. ET newscast on Wednesday.   Hansen will discuss how lower market prices will lead to higher rates in the Northwest.      More on energy prices - from New York on Wednesday, Merrill Lynch Senior Economist Gerald Cohen will discuss the impact of energy prices on the economy.
