...situation today because it's a demand-driven price," said House Energy Committee chairman Joe Barton, Republican from Texas, at a news conference Wednesday. House Ways and Means committee member Rep. Jim McCrery of Louisiana concurred: "I don?t think there?s any magic political solution."

That's in part thanks to a U.K. government that's "pretty relaxed" about letting power providers join up with foreign suitors, says Hendrik Van Brevoort, a utilities analyst with Putnam Investment in London. "They take the attitude, it's a regulated industry ... whoever owns [British businesses], it's the same rules." To foreign shoppers like E.ON, that leaves Britain "wide open," Van Brevoort says.
