Texans Laugh At Californians In Calamity Switch
Dozens of Texans at Houston's Intercontinental in March 2001 joked about California rolling blackouts while firms such as Reliant Resources Dynegy and Enron owned California plants. As Enron collapsed and others lost vast market value, FERC released internal Reliant emails revealing the irony and consequences of deregulation.

Tapes link Reliant to early California energy manipulation
The records show Reliant traders discussing turning off most plants to keep prices high as early as June 2000, well before Gov. Gray Davis publicized the crisis. The discussions, along with later events in March 2001, support claims of artificial shortages. Enron pled guilty. Reliant faces a $13.8 million federal fine for two days of activity.
