The fact that former Enron executives Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling have been found guilty will be little comfort to the company's shareholders and retirees who lost billions. Nor will it cheer consumers in the West, who lived through an unnecessary and manufactured "energy crisis" that stemmed from the freewheeling and corrupt energy trading system that Lay and Skilling helped create.

But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
