Seems to be a consensus among those of you I heard from that Jaliscience is the place to be tonight. If there are people who think this idea sucks, I am more than willing to alter plans. But, as of now, we'll meet up at Jaliscience about 9:00. I'll call Clay when I get into town, so he can be the go to guy for questions, etc. You're welcome Clay. See you tonight.
Answer: Jolly Science anyone?
PR01: 174 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 04/26/2001 GOVERNOR DAVIS SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO PROVIDE POWER TO CALIFORNIA SACRAMENTO Governor Gray Davis has signed three executive orders to increase stabilization, conservation and generation of power in California. Executive Order D-34-01 Many numerous and complicated statutes, regulations, policies and procedures are delaying deployment of the energy conservation funding outlined in SB 5X and AB 29X signed by the Governor two weeks ago. Executive Order D-34-01 will speed up implementation of the measures. Together, the two bills provide over $850 million for energy conservation and distributed generation programs designed to save over 2,000 megawatts this summer. With the Executive Order, the Energy Commission will not have to go through the cumbersome process of guideline adoption to approve funding. The programs in the demand reduction program that will be streamlined included: Public Agency Loans and Grants (ECAA); Time-Of-Use and Real-Time Meters; Municipal Program; and Cool Roofs/Building Materials Executive Order D-33-01 Governor Davis signed Executive Order D-33-01 to extend the conservation rebate of the "20/20" program to the customers in the territory serviced by the San Diego Gas and Electric Company. The program is designed to help the state avoid the likelihood of blackouts this summer and reward consumers who significantly conserve energy. In addition, it could save the state up to $1.3 billion in power costs by reducing the amount of electricity the state must buy during expensive summer peak periods. Executive Order D-32-01 In Executive Order D-32-01, Governor Davis orders the transfer of funds from the Energy Commission to the Department of Water Resources for implementation of the power plant construction incentive program. Incentives will include: $5,000 per megawatt (MW) of average electrical output on the first 100 MW and $2,500 per MW for each MW above 100 MW, if brought on-line by July 1, 2001; $4,000 per MW of average electrical output on the first 100 MW and $2,000 per MW for each MW above 100 MW, if brought on-line between July 2, 2001 and August 1, 2001; and $3,000 per MW of average electrical output on the first 100 MW and $1,500 per MW for each MW above 100 MW, if brought on-line between August 2, 2001 and August 31, 2001.

To forecast Entex: We have a database that contains the citygate volumes by day, with the low and high temps for each day. When we get a weather report for the new day, we enter the projected low temp and the spread into the file. The database is sorted by that information with a +/- 2 degrees on the temps, and provides an average volume for that criteria. (For example: With temps of 40-60, the sort would produce a list of the volumes pulled for each day with a low of 38 to 42 degrees and a temperature spread of 20 to 22 degrees. An average is then calculated from that volumetric data. In this case, the average is calculated to 259,000 Mmbtu.) Upon calculating the average, we then apply information we obtain through daily business and adjust that estimate. Things to consider: if weather is cloudy or sunny, wet or dry; wind chill; Entex's obligation on Midcon; Entex's recent operating procedures; Entex takes versus our prior estimates (have we been under or overestimating volumes each day), etc. Additionally, since we only see about 30% of the meters, we apply a factor to estimate the remaining 70%. If we have an unaccounted volume for a few days that is fairly consistent (and we have determined that the ua4 has not been caused by something else), we may adjust the factor to bring the estimates more in line. Let me know if you have any questions. Daren

- Subject: Cute story Anyone who's been single and over the age of 18 can relate to this. When I was younger I hated going to weddings ...it seemed that all of my aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.' ? They stopped that crap after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
