I just checked the above cut and paste, and for some reason, it doesn't work.

This one will though:

Cut and paste into your browser, then click on "Electric Utilities and Y2k."

As an alternative, perhaps someone could contribute a hotlink?

First answer on the euy2k forum:

(grumble grumble; another thing to add to my list of "things to do")

I'll try to follow up tomorrow, but a lot of people took off for the long weekend today. Sidenote: I can't imagine a business-saavy guy like Cam Daley saying something like this for publication. My guess is that he may have been seriously misquoted (like that's never happened to me before).

The only reason I haven't posted this article in the euy2k.com newsroom is because there's not a verifiable reference to it. All I've seen is references to the daily Bloomberg Report (very credible, if true...), and I don't subscribe to Bloomberg.
