The UK has a new energy minister, Peter Hain.  As you will see from the 
Electricity Association (UK)'s brief below, he should be regarded as much 
greener, more interventionist, and populist than his predecessor, Helen 
Liddell.  Ralph Hodge, David Lewis, and I met with Peter Hain, when he was 
involved in Welsh development issues, to discuss our power project at Rassau 
in Wales, and found him very supportive of the UK government's stricter 
consents policy regarding gas-fired power generation, and not at all 
favourably disposed to projects of the size being proposed for Rassau, i.e., 
1200 MW (he asked why we could not make it much smaller).  Helen Liddell was 
scheduled to go to Washington DC in early February, and Hain may now be her 
replacement, in which case some of our US-based enron colleagues will have an 
opportunity to meet him.  let me know if you need more.   thanks  mcs
