Plus, Devon bought Mitchell.
Plus, how all that set off the windmill building frenzy in Texas. Enron bought out the wind company Zond in 1997. Renewable standards for Texas established in 1999. Nat Gas shortages in 2001. Windmill boom follows. Enron goes under. Zond sold to GE.
There is another twist on the Alaska pipeline. Frank Murkowski negotiated his deal based on the pre-Katrina price of nat gas. Palin negotiated her deal based on the post-Katrina price. In hindsight, Murkowski had it right.
