[IMC-Editorial] Letter on the Northeast Blackouts

[The Ayn Rand Institute]

Dear Editor:

The environmentalist take on the blackout? We're hearing it everywhere: "It was a 
transmission problem, not a supply problem."

Which means: The supply problem should be addressed only after it too becomes a crisis.

Environmentalists have worked for thirty years to destroy every prospect for cheap, 
plentiful energy. Now they would have us ignore the inevitable consequences of their 
policies and do nothing--until it's too late. From such range-of-the-moment mentalities 
are blackouts born.

Sincerely,

Paul Blair
