Rick Cowles, the established expert on Y2K problems in the U.S. Electric Utilities sector, will host the Grand Opening Celebration on Sunday, June 7 at 9:00 p.m. (EST). "The Y2K Chat will serve as an outlet for opinions, education, and solutions for the year 2000 problem," said Tim Wilson, publisher of Y2K News Magazine. "The Y2K power grid problem may pose the most significant threat to general public. Therefore, Rick Cowles seemed a perfect mediator for our Grand Opening Celebration." In his book Electric Utilities and Y2k and on his Electric Utilities and the Year 2000 website (www.euy2k.com), Cowles asserts that the world's power supply may be gravely affected by the year 2000 problem. "It is necessary to understand that this problem and its possible effects are real," said Cowles. "It's also necessary to consider the potentially significant business and personal risks inherent to losing electrical power for an undetermined period of time. Above all, there's an urgent need to realize that these are not 'Chicken Little' issues, but are very deep and serious problems for which little time remains to prepare."
