KUCINICH, GOODMAN, PALAST DISPUTE GRID EXPERTS

Amy Goodman, journalist, implied that an "antiquated" electricity grid may be a problem. Bush himself agreed without realizing that antiquated electrical equipment that is still in service often indicates a high level of quality and good maintenance. A power system should last longer than an average Wal Mart store. They should generaly be designed for expected growth, unlike adult shoes.

Greg Palast, journalist, blamed deregulation, which could turn out to be true. This former investigator of corporate racketeers has lost several battles with the Bush cartel. His arguments focused on the iresponsibility of Ohio energy producers despite the fact that NERC suggested investigating the electronic control system that would have isolated the outage to a smaller area if at all possible.

Dennis Kucinich, candidate for President, career politician, and advocate of regulation has also lost battles with private electric interests in the past. I think the Dennis camp would do well to always direct the public's attention toward non-profit organizations for reliable information about public utilities. Dennis himself can then agree or not agree with the findings. This strong political move avoids the inevitable appearance of impropriety that occurs if his political party accepts contributions from energy related enterprises and individuals.

Kucinich also neglected to inform the public that the widespread BLACKOUT indicates a problem other than an OVERLOAD, a short circuit, or a shutdown by one of the many electrical generators.

The Last person I would ask is a GOP energy secretary.

I have not yet checked with NERC today to see if it is safe for Canada to connect to the grid. It was expected that they would allow the risky manuever Sunday evening after 5 pm.

There is still no evidence that superconductors will fix the problem despite claims by Glen Epstien of Intermagnetics.

Some alternative energy stocks seem to be on the rise.

In my opinion the public would be best served by regulating public utilities despite private investment. Then if the investors want out they can get out.

The best method of maintaining good regulations is to require that private energy producers pay one non-profit organization that collects data and makes suggestions for the power industry. The organization should be government regulated. Others interested parties should also be able to contribute.

Other non-profits and commercial enterprises can form organizations to balance the power of, and ensure the integrity of the government regulated energy managment organizations.

Organizations like NERC tend to advocate well managed growth and investment rather than emergency funding from the government.

The investigation continues.
