New problems could short out Dave Freeman and his DWP legacyby Bill Bradley
THE L.A. DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER'S glistening new reputation as a "good guy" Green utility is fading in the summer sun. Despite extremely lofty goals, the DWP's solar-electric program has gone into a sudden and hard-to-pin-down eclipse. It's part of what some environmentalists and informed sources inside the DWP describe as a "Green malaise" afflicting the massive publicly owned utility after the departure of DWP chief and legendary public-power executive David Freeman to serve as Governor Gray Davis' energy czar. And it comes just as a malaise of sorts appears to have afflicted the career of Freeman himself, whose confirmation as chairman of the new California Power Authority is now in jeopardy. Which in turn points up growing questions from state investigators about the practices of the DWP.
