In the last ten years power needs in the northeast have increased 34% however new power ( power plants etc) have only increased about 15% and are constantly being sued for making the world dirty or whatever.
States not allowing new power plants isn't the presidents turf. If it was and the problem has been getting worst for ten years, well has GW really been president for ten years? Wasn't Hillery's husband around for at least part of that time?
In the north east there are plans for 3 new nuke plants which would produce enough electricity so our part of the country could export power. However, the tree huggers have stopped those plans at every step down the road. Is George also responsible for the heat wave in Europe???
By the way those up state New York power employees did get a really raw deal. However the power outage started in Ohio. I'm not sure what upstate New York people could have done once the domino effect hit them.
Now, just to keep things in prospective, I do feel that organizations like electric producers are of vital national interest and should be regulated. John Kerry, the front runner among the Democrats who want to be president has never cast a vote opposed to deregulation of power companies. Might want to keep that in mind.
Stay healthy,
Andy
