Details in exchange for this - I read an article this morning that quoted an ISO market analyst speaking about the $6.2 billion the system operator would like to recover in charges since last spring: "We are not saying now that these are overcharges. We are telling the FERC that we see these as the amounts that we deem 'excessive.'" The lead of the story was this: "The California Independent System Operator......significantly upped the ante Thursday when it told the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that 21 generators and suppliers should refund the state a stunning $6.2 billion for electricity sold into the state since last May." First of all, tell me what the difference is between "overcharges" and "excessive" charges. If there isn't one, give me your opinion on why this analyst would say such a stupid thing. Second, give me one reason why the lead is journalistically incorrect, and one why it is gramatically unattractive. Then you get details. Kate
