California's restructuring efforts, coupled with extremely low switching  r=

there something fundamentally different about electric markets that  render=
 them impossible to open? Over the past quarter-century, numerous  once-reg=
ulated industries, such as financial services, airlines, and  telecommunica=
tions, have been successfully restructured. Why is  electricity an outlier?=
 Will it change?  Two distinguished industry  analysts, Ken Malloy, CEO of =
 the Center for the Advancement of Energy Markets and publisher of the RED =
 Index, and Dr. Mark Cooper,  Director of Research for Consumer Federation =
of America, will debate two  interrelated propositions:   1. All retail cus=
tomers  should be required to choose a new energy supplier.  2. Non-commodi=
ty  products--such as demand-side management, distributed generation, green=
  power, and combined heat and power--will penetrate faster and more deeply=
  in open retail markets than they would under the continuation of  traditi=
