Subject: Re: sobering quote on BHE
...BHE and its possible reluctance to invest more (or go out of business?) are for public consumption as some here have suggested.

Every year it seems some part of BRK lags and another part does well, but this is supposed to be Greg Abel's particular area of expertise, isn't it? I will very much want to hear what he says about this at the annual meeting.

Does anybody know anything about Scott Thon, current CEO of BHE?


I wouldn't worry about BHE "going out of business" - I think the comment was about the possibility of a single subsidiary of BHE going through bankruptcy - which I think is unlikely and of course would be a restructuring not "going out of business."

On Scott Thon, all I know is that he came from Altalink, the Canadian transmission subsidiary. He ran that company as CEO for a long time and I'm sure Greg knows what he is doing when it comes to appointing a CEO of BHE.
