Bush Calls for Upgrading U.S. Electricity Grid

Reuters
Friday, August 15, 2003;

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (Reuters) - President Bush on Friday called the worst blackout in North American history a "wake-up call" and said the nation's electricity grid must be modernized.

"I view it as a wake-up call," Bush told reporters during a visit to the Santa Monica mountains, adding that the blackout was "an indication we need to modernize the electricity grid."

Officials were trying to pinpoint the cause of the breakdown and to discover how it cascaded so quickly through much of the northeastern United States and the Canadian province of Ontario, knocking New York City, Detroit, Cleveland, Ottawa, Toronto and a host of smaller cities back into the pre-electric age.

"We need to take a look at what went wrong, analyze the problem and come up with a solution. We don't know yet what went wrong but we will," Bush said.

He did not say how the electricity grid should be modernized or much it would cost.
