Energy: Re-regulating Energy Trading |
| This vote was on an amendment to the Senate energy bill (S. 517) offered by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), which would have re-regulated energy trading firms like Enron, Dynegy, Reliant and Mirant. Unregulated energy trading was one of the direct causes of the California energy crisis. In 2002, nearly every high-profile energy trading corporation has come under investigation for securities or anti-trust fraud. Failed 48 Yea to 50 Nay. |
