Dear Joe,  Congress is out of town, but we've still got plenty of energy news from Washington.  The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission meets on Tuesday.  One of the issues on the FERC's agenda is a complaint filed against the California Independent System Operator.  Some companies allege the ISO is giving the California Department of Water Resources preferential market treatment in its new role as California's main power purchaser.  We'll bring you the latest from the FERC on Tuesday.    ENL's Washington bureau will also cover the release of the North American Electric Reliability Council's Winter Assessment on Tuesday.  The new NERC report will be released at 9:30 a.m. ET from the National Press Club in Washington.   Also on Tuesday, ENL's Alison Kosik will bring us more from the Department of Energy's Clean Coal Technology Conference in Washington.  The event focuses on the latest in clean coal innovation and the prospects for coal-fired generation in the U.S.   Houston Correspondent Kim Benestante reports, many companies feel wild price swings could be eliminated with more accurate weather predictions.  On Tuesday, Kim talks with Reliant Energy about steps that can be taken to minimize weather risks.   Ivanhoe Energy Vice President of Investor Relations John MacDonald talks with our Houston bureau about plans his company has for Gas-to-Liquids production.  This type of motor fuel is odorless and emissions-free.  We'll have more from MacDonald on Tuesday.   From the NASDAQ on Tuesday, ESAI Power and Gas Services Director Edward Kraples will join us.  During the 9:00 a.m. ET newscast, he'll talk about the amount of investment needed to keep Northwest power prices from escalating.   Broadcasting Note: Thanksgiving is this Thursday and the ENL staff is preparing the turkey.  The markets are closed Thursday and Friday, so we'll be dark.
