Reed was hired so that Enron's views would be taken seriously by Christian Conservatives. Those views included electricity deregulation and support of the Kyoto Protocol.

Are you kidding me?

About supporting Kyoto? No, I'm not kidding you. Enron was a major backer of Kyoto, both with funds as well as lobbying efforts. The Kyoto Protocol would have almost banned coal (Enron's chief competition to their natural gas operations) as well as created a new market for trading pollution credits (which Enron wanted to seize with its Trading Unit).

You'll find out, after the dust settles, that it was Clinton who called Ken Lay to get help breaking a logjam related to Kyoto (and Lay delivered).

I thought that you knew all of this already, however.

Don't worry, most Democrats in Congress don't know all of this, either...

But they will soon enough!
