“Almost Certainly MSU (making stuff up)”[1] Remarks By SEC Commissioner Scott D. O’malia At The Eighth Annual Energy Trading Conference, Bauer College Global Energy Management Institute, University Of Houston

Date 23/03/2012

I would like to begin by thanking Professor Pirrong and UH-GEMI for inviting me to today’s conference. It is a pleasure to be here with all of you. For those of you who don’t know me, prior to joining the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC” or “Commission”), I spent about 18 years working in and with the energy industry. I worked in the U.S. Senate for 16 years, focusing on energy policy. I also spent two years at Mirant Energy, a competitive wholesale electricity company, where I focused on corporate risk management and energy trading. I witnessed firsthand both California’s energy crisis and Enron’s financial meltdown. Those experiences opened my eyes to the troubles caused by flawed market design and inadequate oversight.
