RE: Richardson's smart a$$ "third world" remark According to a Reuters report, Wednesday, June 28, 2000

"U.S. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said today a heat wave in the Pacific Northwest region could cause rolling blackouts along the West Coast, highlighting the situation as an example of how stressed-out the nation's power grid is as summer starts.

"Appearing before the House Commerce Committee to discuss national energy policy, the energy secretary said an unplanned outage at the Seabrook nuclear plant in New Hampshire also raised his concern about possible New England power shortages."

He'd been Energy Secretary for how long and DID NOTHING! Now the puke Democrats blame President Bush.

Liberalism is an emotional illness.

Folks, a BIG part of the problem isnt SUPPLY, its the GRID, the part that DELIVERS the supply. Its old, clunky, and just doesnt work well when stressed. Build all the reactors you want, but you still gotta upgrade the GRID.
