“Enron is affecting the whole U.S. economy, particularly the energy industry,”
said analyst Christopher Ellinghaus of Williams Capital Co., a New York
investment firm. “At a time when the U.S. needs to improve its energy
infrastructure with transmission lines and power plants, the Enron case has
changed the credit market’s whole view of debt and put off projects,”
Ellinghaus said.
The very decline of Enron stock from more than $90 a share to 50 cents a
share in a single year has taken a massive $67 billion of shareholder wealth
out of the economy. Many employees and former employees at Enron face
meager retirements.
other energy companies have suffered losses in the hundreds of millions of
dollars because of their relationships to Enron, either through contracts or
loans.

For example, Entergy Corp., a large New Orleans-based firm that supplies
electricity throughout the central United States and to Latin America, Europe
and Australia, has just postponed power plant ventures in Ohio and Illinois.

TECO Energy Inc. of Tampa, Fla., is cutting spending by $700 million,

postponing three power plants. Calpine Corp. of San Jose said last week it was
cutting planned expenditures by $2 billion.

4500 employees lost their jobs.

 
Investors lost some 60 billion dollars within a few days; for many it meant losing their old-age
security.
 
The pension fund for the company's employees was obliterated.
 
Citizen’s trust in the American economic system was destroyed.
 
Losses on the financial market amounted to the worst stock value loss in peaceful times.
 
Banks were suspected of collusion.
