Bryson did manage to separate himself from other corporate executives by dealing directly with Davis. This made Edison “the quieter of the three major California utilities” during the crisis, Weissman said, as Bryson was working behind the scenes to pay off its debt, avoid bankruptcy and generally keep “a lower profile in terms of affiliate transactions in California power markets.”

And some tried to turn the table on Republicans when the question was raised about Bryson’s support for renewables and BrightSource specifically. “Given that the Republicans won’t vote to repeal subsidies to the oil industry, I don’t see how they can complain about subsidies for clean tech,” said Daniel Farber.
