Power Problems

[Edward H. Lybarger]

We have plenty of power.  West Penn (now Allegheny Power, Allegheny Energy,
etc. after deregulation in PA) is selling to all comers.  The problem as I
understand it is largely in the interconnecting grids left over from
regulated days, and will take tome time and investment to solve.  Meanwhile,
I'm back into electric utility stocks where they have their acts together,
and have not been disappointed. (Now when interest rates begin to drop, the
bank issues will rise, too.)

Greetings!

	There is an electrical crunch in some parts of the country or a
shortage of electricity is another way to put it.  Reasons for the
crunch don't matter but we are extremely dependent on this source of
energy.
	Has this electrical crunch affected PTM at all or the Pgh region?  What
about ({[pat]})??
	And we may have an oil-energy-crisis on top of it all.  Oy vey!
