Is this entry a little short of useful information? The timeline shows a meteoric rise of Calpine's fortunes, its generating capacity (MW), its IPO and share price rise, and nowhere does it explain where all the debt came from, why it couldn't be serviced, why if the company has as many assets as stated that assets could not be liquidated to satisfy debt, why the market reached near zero confidence in the company, etc, etc. Instead the grand timeline of achievements is summed up with files for bankruptcy and delisted for low share price. How about someone with knowledge of the company filling in some meaningful information? — unsigned entry by 69.61.172.213 03:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, it is a little short of useful information, and that's why it's tagged as a stub. I had gathered the basic time line for another project, and since there was no article on Calpine back then I started this one. It's not entirely useless, since you seem to have derived the basics of the company's fortunes from the "grand" timeline. If you want a full corporate report you can pay for one elsewhere. Please come back when you have time to contribute. —RandallJones 21:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
