Bush Extends California Power Aid Two Weeks
President Bush says federal directives forcing wholesalers to sell power to California’s near bankrupt utilities will stay in place for two more weeks, with no further extension.

West Texas Utilities seeks to raise fixed fuel factors
The Public Utility Commission of Texas receives WTUs January 19 2001 application to revise fixed fuel factors and allow a March 2001 start. The request targets fuel costs only, affects all retail customers, and could raise bills about 10.65 dollars monthly for a typical 1000 kWh user. The commission will review in the next fuel reconciliation and action could raise Texas fuel revenues by about 43.4 million dollars through December 2001.

President Bush arts a new tone as he flatters three Democrats in an East Room ceremony and welcomes dialogue in the Cabinet Room. While praising education ideas and inviting input, he faces an evenly split Senate and looming fights over a $1.6 trillion tax cut plan and senior prescription drug aid. Critics warn civility may fade as partisan divides persist and policy clashes loom.
