Today we got a couple of notices from the Enron bankruptcy hearings. See, back when California became deregulated, before all the hoopla about Enron and the California energy crisis, we actually switched from our regular PG&E service to an Enron ‘Green Energy’ account, where even though we were getting exactly the same electricity from PG&E’s wire, our (extra) dollars were supposed to be contributing to increased use of Hydro, Bio, Wind, and Geothermal energy supplies. It’s just another one of those crazy tithing things we do to avoid having too much money laying around all the time.

I don’t speak legalese, but this appears to be a request from Enron saying that they’d like to consider that anybody who has a claim with them for their misconduct is entitled to somewhere between $0 and $1, unless they claim otherwise before 9/22, so I’m thinkin’, hey, what if I had a cleverly worded letter that says, in effect, ‘No, I’d like to claim that you owe me $300.’ ?

Anybody out there know how this thing really works?
