Kid, So you agree then that generation and load problems are a near certainty at the regional level, rather than being localized, as is currently being mis-reported? And you further agree that the spin being put on Y2k power generation capabilities at this late date is reprehensible? "Anyhow, what I suspect is happening is the following. Some industry and government leaders want to reassure everyone that there is nothing to worry about regarding electricity in 2000. I believe that they have picked up on the talk about Balkanization, and on the misunderstandings about local power plants, and cynically decided to use this to create spin, White House style. The spin is that whatever power outages might occur due to Y2K will be localized. In my book, that's about as unethical as things ever get." -- Dick Mills
