Excerpt:
In September 2008, Constellation's financial situation became precarious, due to its ties with the bankrupt investment banking firm Lehman Brothers. Warren Buffett's MidAmerican Energy Holdings made an offer to buy Constellation, which the company accepted. Electricite de France (EDF) also expressed interest in Constellation. ^[3] The Wall Street Journal reported that nuclear power companies were concerned that Buffet's likely control of Constellation "gives one of the nuclear power industry's biggest skeptics some important clout in deciding its future." Buffet has rejected called nuclear power plants "too costly to build," yet Constellation is half-owner of UniStar Nuclear Energy, a consortium seeking to build new nuclear plants in the United States. ^[4]

Enron is currently pursuing legal action against Dynegy over the takeover of Northern Natural Gas, which has since been sold by Dynegy to MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company.

Enron's final bankruptcy plan provides for the creation of three new businesses to be spun off from Enron as independent, debt-free companies.

The reorganization process commenced in 2003, with the formation of two new Enron subsidiaries, CrossCountry Energy L.L.C., and Prisma Energy International Inc.
