Actually if you dig in you will see that generally capacity reserve margins are remaining constant to dropping in most regions over the forecast period (i.e. we are not making headway in replacing old outmoded power plants built in the late 1970s) and that the nation will be opperating close to the limits of its transmission capacity.

It is time for a real national energy policy that addresses who we will get the electricity we need.

Lots of people in Central Florida are still without power from hurricane Frances. Californians should try it for a few days; It would be good training.
