They also pointed out (without rubbing the Gov's nose in it) that the Summer 2001 blackouts were a partial result of air pollution limits on generation operations.

How does that tie in with these?

There is politics and there are financing documents.

No firm in its right mind would try to ignore facts and quote spin, in an Official Statement. If they did something like that they could be litigated out of business.

That is why OS documents are so interesting to read, they have to be "learned research" on the ability to repay the bond holders and on the underlying economics of the stream of funds to be used to repay the bonds.

What you have linked to is a combination of political spin and companies replying to that spin, all the while trying to generate some positive newspaper coverage. The OS is not written to be quoted in a newspaper, it is to advise potential investors.
