Subject: Re: PacifiCorp
One typo: MidAmerican Energy (now Berkshire Hathaway Energy) bought PacifiCorp in 2006, not 1996.
As to lawmakers and public utility commissions, while I am not saying that they are always reasonable, I do not think that it is fair to place all of the blame for PacifiCorp's financial problems on legislatures and PUCs. The problem is that it's a very risky business to be in. Someone has to do it, but it doesn't have to be us.
