摘要

Awicked mix of debt and deflation is ripping through America's energy-trading industry, leaving blackened balance sheets in its wake. Despite efforts to save themselves, several big energy-trading firms remain close to bankruptcy. Since the ten biggest traders between them own or control more than one-fifth of America's electricity-generating capacity, some fear that candles may soon vanish from supermarket shelves. At the moment, each piece of good news seems to be accompanied by a wave of bad news. Dynegy and Williams, two of the biggest energy traders, sold just enough assets last week to pull back from the brink of bankruptcy. A few days later, however, Dynegy was hit with a lawsuit filed by its former controller, who claims he was sacked after refusing to manipulate the firm's accounts-a charge that Dynegy denies. Mirant, another big trader, is also under the spotlight. On August 5th the company announced that the SEC is looking into what Mirant's boss, Marce Fuller, called "honest mistakes". Honest or not, the stockmarket drove Mirant's share price down 16% on the day. It also emerged this week that bribery of foreign government officials has been added to the long list of alleged crimes being investigated at Enron.
