October 08 - Michael Yackira
Michael Yackira, President & CEO, of newly named NV Energy addressed a small
audience at the October Monthly meeting. Presidential debates and baseball
playoffs, plus holding the meeting a week later, all contributed to a smaller than
average member turnout.

Yackira stressed the progress NV Energy has made in the past three years plus it's
aggressive advance in solar and geothermal energy. He stated the utility now pays
a dividend, after a 3 year absence, and will continue to deliver these quarterly
payments to shareholders in the future.

He went on to say energy conservation and efficient delivery of low cost power to
Nevada customers is the corporate objective. He described several specific actions
the company has underway to provide lower cost, more environmental friendly
energy. The audience was impressed with Yackira's professional delivery and
knowledge.

There was an interesting and lively Q & A following Yackira's address.
