Whenever you have time, I'd appreciate very much your candid comments and suggestions on our new on-line energy publication, Energy Business Watch, which you can access by clicking on www.energybusinesswatch.com. Our goal in launching Energy Business Watch is to take maximum advantage of the speed and power of the internet to deliver the energy-related information you need each day within minutes after breaking developments occur. To accomplish this goal, Energy Business Watch provides a unique combination of news coverage and selected links to other resources not currently available on any other site. These features include: o Exclusive in-depth reporting on breaking news by one of the strongest reporting teams in the business o Exclusive expert commentary o Links e-mailed directly to you each morning with important, interesting stories from other sources that you're not likely to have time to search out on your own o News flashes during the course of each day on important breaking developments o Continuously updated links to important decisions and reports, such as the California ISO's assessment of the likelihood of rolling black-outs in California this summer o Live stock quotes, spot market prices for electricity, natural gas and other fuels and day ahead prices for electricity in each region of the country o Special reports, not found in any other publication, on business developments affecting the energy industry and emerging new technologies that in coming years could reshape the industry. Over the next few months, we plan to add other features, including live streaming video coverage of important developments, conferences, special research reports and other specialized information services not currently available from any other source. Our goal is to become your best source for the specialized, industry-specific information you need each day to excel in your work. To achieve this goal, however, we need your help -- both now and in coming months -- by sharing with us your advice and feedback regarding the information services that will best serve your needs.
