- - - - - The Great Blackout - - - - -
Well, we all know that a significant chunk of the Eastern US has been suffering through an electrical blackout. Hey, guess what? Did you know that it's the Prez's fault? According to Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) it is. Story HERE.
Sen. Clinton claims: "They have continued to try to push deregulation and privatization, and to try to undo a lot of the systems in changes that many of us thought were important and necessary that we tried to work on during the Clinton administration under [former Energy] Secretary [Bill] Richardson's leadership."
Sen. Clinton also accused the White House of throwing "a lot of roadblocks in the way of [Calif. Gov. Gray] Davis, when he tried to clean up some of the problems that he had with the manipulation of the energy markets by Enron and others."
"So, no," she insisted, "I don't think the federal administration under this president is really focused on making sure we don't have these problems in the future."
However, the Secretary of Energy in the Clinton Administration, Bill Richardson, had a slightly different view of the Clinton administration's energy policy: "In the Clinton administration, everybody yawned about this, [saying] oh, we don't need to do this. Oh, we don't have a crisis."
