Had the market been left alone in California and consumers been asked to pay the true cost of their energy, it's possible that the underlying folly of our economy may have been challenged in the most productive manner possible. The resulting situation might very well have led to more efficient technologies or to greater emphasis on conservation. The long-term solution to our energy troubles, after all, won't come from increasing supply simply because our supply for energy is not yet unlimited. The one effective means...

Spots on CNN, CNNfn and even CNNi for TIME, Fortune and Money correspondents. Sometimes a pretty lady comes in to read something in Spanish. Once, James Earl Jones came in to talk about the new "Star Wars," and topped it off by recording an endless series of "This is..." sound bites for the CNN-Time, CNN-Fortune and CNN-Entertainment Weekly shows they run when the news...
