Subject: Options for Bush's Domestic Climate Plan...

FYI - Yesterday, I attended a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on climate
change and climate science.  It gave some indications on what might be
included in Bush's domestic plan to address climate change.

While little new ground was covered, consensus was evident on the following
actions:

? focus on no-regrets and inexpensive reduction opportunities (energy
efficiency, "low-hanging fruit")
? take steps to reduce emissions that have co-benefits (air quality - SOx,
NOx emissions reductions)
? improve scientific modeling
? long-term research/development and deployment of new technologies,
including renewables
? think about adaptation strategies

This was a conservative response, but a sound foundation.  This is likely the
message being relayed to the White House climate change task force and
reflects the minimum options under consideration for Bush's domestic
approach.

These recommendations are consistent with Enron's positions and ideas we have
already been feeding the Administration such as our multipollutant proposal
