``When energy prices kept on soaring, Davis complained again, prompting a
video conference call that included Summers and Greenspan and,
incredibly, George W. Bush's favorite executive, Enron CEO Kenneth
"Kenny Boy" Lay. On that call, Summers declared that Lay was doing a
"pretty good job" of supplying energy to California, Eichenwald writes.
The book says Summers again suggested that the state's energy prices
were actually too low, and that maybe if the state was so in love with
low energy prices, what it needed to do was relax environmental
regulations to let more power plants get built in a hurry.''
