Caveat
• I am one of three equal commissioners
• My positions are my own
• I am confused by many things and have not made up my mind on much at all
• I don’t even agree with some of the things I say
• Good advice: don’t believe everything you think

Implications for Climate Legislation
• Urgency: important to start soon– Electric sector ready to move now– Encourage early action
• Cost containment: climate adds to cost pressure– Allocation of allowances– Curbs on speculation
• Innovation needed: Manhattan Project scale– Substantial R&D funding essential
• Keep options open: EPRI may be right– CCS and nuclear must be kept viable
