US faces electricity shortage

Another problem. Electric utilities started downsizing their workforces, equipment and inventories of pieces-parts even before deregulation. Deregulation has only accelerated this trend. So there is a big lack of trained personnel to maintain and repair electrical systems and a good chance of not having on hand the necessary equipment or pieces-parts when something breaks, burns, or blows up.

I'm sure that Les or Enrique would be glad to explain the physics involved.
