Four Scenarios We Might Consider

o    Reintegrate at IOU level self-scheduling of generation and new built
     capacity for further security of default load, abandoning current market
     structure -- leaves ISO in charge of grid

o    Stay the course but allow IOU rates to increase and deny PX special status
     past 2 Q 2001

o    Integrate PX spot functions into new State managed integrated grid business
     (removes ISO)

o    Regionalize grid under FERC but integrate IOUs with Muni's in a State
     managed reliability, market coalition
