While people in western Queens are directing their anger at Con Ed and demanding answers about last month's blackout, public advocacy groups that monitor the energy industry say the problem goes beyond the local utility. Weinberg details the group's belief that the Queens blackout is a symptom of a deeper problem--how the entire system that brings people electricity has been massively changed over the past 10 years, with little public debate. While the Queens blackouts were neither as dramatic nor as apparently contrived as those that shook California in 2001--and have become emblematic of the perceived failures of deregulation--some draw a connection between the two.

Uncle Sam can be a formidable competitor, especially when he has a hand in 95 percent of your market. With that in mind, Lake Success-based Astoria Federal Savings Bank is tweaking the way it does business in 2011. The thrift hopes the federal government pares down mortgage giants Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the Federal Housing Administration, which collectively guarantee or own roughly 95 percent of all new mortgages, according to a press spokeswoman from the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

WAYCROSS, Ga. - Emergency officials told residents Thursday to evacuate their homes near a wildfire in the Okefenokee Swamp, where gusty winds threatened to spread the blaze across a four-lane highway in southeast Georgia. Ware County sheriff's deputies went door-to-door in Astoria, a tiny community three miles southeast of Waycross, on Thursday afternoon, asking people to flee. Most had just returned home after being evacuated for several hours Wednesday as the fire raged nearby.
Opponents of a liquefied natural gas terminal that was proposed for the lower Columbia River often were falsely categorized as anti- LNG. The truth is, those opponents including The Columbian are pro- river. We have said for years that the environmentally fragile Columbia River estuary is a horrible place to build a deepwater LNG port and, in this case, a 38-mile pipeline from the twin-tanks terminal to Kelso. That pipeline would have been gouged under the river and the Julia Butler Hansen National Wildlife Refuge near Cathlamet. Our opposition was based on the site, not natural gas itself as a form of energy, one that happens to heat many homes throughout the Northwest. And as you might already have deduced, for the first time since our opposition to this project began, we are please...
