The Power Brokers: The Struggle to Shape and Control the Electric Power Industry examines the electric-power industry in the United States from the late 19th-century to the present by focusing on seven key players, including Enron founder Ken Lay. Jeremiah D. Lambert ’55 explains how this industry has attempted to use regulatory change to preserve or secure market dominance and how rogue players have gamed imperfectly restructured electricity markets. Lambert’s law practice centers on the energy business.
