<br/><br/> "On August 15 of this year [2003], the largest blackout in North American history knocked out electrical power in most of New York, New England, Ohio, and Ontario, Canada. Over 50 million people were without electrical power for up to 24 hours. TV networks across the nation beamed pictures of New Yorkers trudging home across the Brooklyn Bridge, while sweating passengers were pulled from stalled subway cars. Immediately, people began the blame game. The United States attributed the shutdown to Canada, while Canadians believed something had gone wrong south of the border. The possibility of terrorism could not be ruled out." (WORLD & I) This article examines "the present state of energy consumption and production in the United States" and scrutinizes "what can be done to prevent similar catastrophes in the future."
