In August 2006, DKRW Energy and SNC-Lavalin announced their plans to build a coal-to-liquids plant in Medicine Bow. DKRW Energy is a Houston-based firm, named after the initials of the four ex-Enron executives who founded it, with interests in wind, liquified natural gas, and coal-to-liquids. The plant has been described as the first coal-to-gasoline plant in the United States.[1]
In March 2011, the Wyoming Supreme Court upheld a state air permit for the facility. Work on the plant began in late 2010 and is planned to be completed by 2014. However, future funding has not been solidified.[2]

Leader of Texas Utility Commission Quits Post amid Enron Fallout.
Byline: Polly Ross Hughes
Jan. 19--AUSTIN, Texas--Former Enron executive Max Yzaguirre resigned as chairman of the Public Utility Commission Friday amid mounting political fallout over his appointment to the powerful post by Gov. Rick Perry.
Yzaguirre of South Padre Island appears to be the first political casualty nationally of Enron's burgeoning financial scandals and the third of four Hispanics appointed by Perry to resign.
"During recent weeks, my family and I have been subjected to a series of negative attacks which have had nothing to do with my job performance and which seemed to be politically inspired," Yzaguirre said in his letter of resignation.
"I believe that the citizens of Texas, and my colleagues at the PUC, deserve a …

GE Seeks Refund From Enron Wind

California

Firm tells bankruptcy judge it overpaid for manufacturing assets it bought in May.

November 15, 2002|Christopher Mumma | Bloomberg News
General Electric Co. is seeking the refund of almost half the $358 million it paid to an Enron Corp. unit for wind-turbine manufacturing assets, lawyers told a federal bankruptcy judge in New York on Thursday.
After its auditors analyzed the transaction, GE informed Enron that it wanted $160 million back, Enron attorney Martin Sosland disclosed in court Thursday. Sosland is representing Enron in its bankruptcy reorganization.

GE & Investing in Environmental Technology: The “Green” Transformation
In 2002, General Electric’s newly minted CEO, Jeffrey Immelt, snapped up Enron Wind for the bargain-basement price of $300 million (give or take; estimates vary). Thus began GE’s “green is green” transformation. Since then, GE’s wind division revenues have quadrupled, from $500 million to over $2 billion. The rapid growth of the wind division illustrates GE’s commitment to emerging markets as well as alternative energy: Two of the firm’s four technology R&D centers are located in Bangalore and Shanghai (the other two are in Munich, Germany, and Niskayuna, N.Y.).

Excerpt:
John Clifford "Cliff" Baxter (September 27, 1958 – January 25, 2002) was a former Enron Corporation executive who resigned in May 2001. He sold $30 million worth of Enron stock during the months prior to Enron's bankruptcy. Reportedly, Baxter clashed with CEO Jeffrey Skilling over questionable Enron business practices. Before his death, he had agreed to testify before Congress in the Enron case.
Baxter was born in Amityville, New York, and graduated from New York University. After graduating, he served in the U.S. Air Force from 1980 to 1985 and rose to the rank of captain. After he left the military, he enrolled at Columbia University, where he received an MBA degree two years later. He had a wife, Carol, and two children, a son and a daughter.

[edit] Suicide

On January 25, 2002, Baxter was found dead in his black Mercedes-Benz S500 in Sugar Land, Texas, with a gunshot wound through the right side of his head. The ammunition used was a "Glaser Safety Slug", which at the time was misreported as rat-shot.[1] A revolver was found in his car and a suicide note was found in his wife's car at their home. An autopsy was performed by the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office and the death was ruled a suicide.[1][2]
His suicide note was hand printed, though not signed, for his wife Carol. The letter expressed Baxter's despair over the direction his life had taken.[3] In Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, a co-worker discloses that Baxter was a manic depressive.
