Dear Jason,  Washington Bureau Chief Jay Cranford is back in Washington, D.C. today.  He says next week will be a whirlwind with the unveiling of the White House Energy Task Force's National Energy Policy recommendations. President Bush will be in St. Paul, Minnesota on Thursday announcing the recommendations, and D.C. bureau's Peter Cook is getting ready to cover the event.  Peter will bring us reports next week.   Also from Washington, D.C. next week, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is holding a much-anticipated confirmation hearing for the two newest FERC nominees.  If the committee clears Pat Wood and Nora Mead Brownell, the full Senate could consider the nominations soon after.  We'll have more information on the hearing next week.     Houston bureau's Kim Benestante tells us the Panda Corporation is bringing a  1,000-megawatt power plant online in June in Odessa, TX.  The new plant will accompany their Guadalupe County plant near San Antonio that's already online.  Kim says she'll also bring us details on a Los Angeles investor that is buying majority interest in Plains Pipeline.  Log on all next week for stories from ENL's Houston bureau.      Also next week, Houston bureau's Gale Smith is in Anchorage, Alaska covering the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission's Midyear Meeting.  We'll bring you reports from Gale in Alaska next week.   We have plenty more energy news coming up on ENL.  On Monday from our D.C. bureau, Editor of Downstream Energy Group Carol Cole is scheduled to join us.  She'll be live in D.C. to discuss the fallout from the Valero-Ultramar Diamond Shamrock merger.  You can catch Cole's comments in the 4:00 p.m. ET broadcast.    In the 9:00 a.m. ET broadcast on Wednesday, President and COO of Unit Corporation John Nikkel is scheduled to be in studio to discuss drilling.  Log on all week to catch these and other interviews.     Keep in mind things are subject to change at a moment's notice. Occasionally guests cancel or change time slots.  We'll continue to do our best to keep you updated on future interviews and events.     Keep it on energynewslive.com for all your energy news.  Have a great weekend!
