Utilities provide public services like power and water.

TXU just reported two and one-half billion dollars in profits last year, half-->up 50 percent from the year before. But utilities often have a lot of debt because of high operating costs. At the same time, states may limit rates if prices rise too high.

Most unusual about the deal, however, are the promises made by KKR and Texas Pacific. These buyout specialist groups say they will cut the electricity prices 10 percent and offer "price protection" through September of 2008.

Also, to reduce carbon emissions linked to climate change, they promise to build fewer power stations that burn coal than TXU had planned. And they promise to explore greater use of alternative and renewable fuels. Two activist groups, Environmental Defence and the Natural Resources Defence Council, supported the deal.

He had been drinking heavily at a phternity-->fraternity(组成社团的大学男生群体) party.

Now alcohol is banned from all phternity-->fraternity and surrourty-->sorority(女生联谊会) houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. And they must provide for transportation to and from of campus-->off-campus parties. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.
 
The policies govern behavior on campus and off. With a first violation, students pay 75 dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second "strike", they have to pay 150 dollars. A third strike means a suspension for at least one semester.
 
Since January of 2005, 633 students have had a first strike, 30 have had a second strike and 1 has been suspended. And-->An official at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish, but to change behavior and the culture at the university.

But Congress has extended it through 2008.

Other reasons for the expansion include improved turbine technology and lower production costs. They also include policies that make it easier for wind power producers to sell their electricity. And they include the growth of markets for "green power" -- energy that does not create pollution.
 
California is the leading state for wind power, but Mister Collins says production is also growing in Minnesotan(明尼苏达州) and other Midwestern states, all the way down to Texas(得克萨斯州). And he says many states in the West and Midwest have the wind resources to produce much more wind power.

Wind power offers farmers a way to earn money for use of their land or, if they want, to operate their own turbines. Wind is free, of course, not only that, the land under the turbines can usually be farmed. And farmers may be able to earn extra money by charging visitors to see their wind farm.

Today farmers can earn money with high-powered wind turbines(涡轮机) that produce electricity. Wind power has become big business, especially in Europe.

In the United States, less than one percent of electricity is produced from wind energy. But production increased one hundred sixty percent between 2000 and 2005. So says Keith Collins, the chief economist at the Department of Agriculture, in a statement he prepared for a senite-->Senate(参议院) committee last month.

And even greater increase is expected between 2005 and 2010. Farmers and ranchers(大农场等的主人、管理人或工人) are providing a land to turbine owners or, in some cases, only-->owning the equipment themselves.

Mister Collins says one reason for the increase is high prices for nature-->natural gas, another is a federal tax credit for wind production. The credit is almost two cents per kiloward aler-->kilowatt(千瓦) hour for the first ten years of production for a project.
