By the time energy was deregulated in the 1980s Lay was already an energy company executive and he took advantage of the new climate when Omaha-based Internorth bought his company Houston Natural Gas and changed the name to Enron in 1985. Following the collapse of Enron his name outside the building was made 70% smaller.
