摘要

"We're the world's greatest superpower but we have a third-world electricity grid!" Thus Bill Richardson, once Bill Clinton's energy secretary and now governor of New Mexico, as the lights went out across north-eastern America last week. He exaggerates, but he is right to suggest that the richest country in the world needs better infrastructure. How did it happen? Industry officials and regulators are sifting through reams of data, computer logs and other evidence to work out why so wide a region was plunged suddenly into darkness (see pages 18-20). The specific sequence of events that triggered the blackout could take weeks to sort out. But the underlying culprit is already clear: America's half-baked, half-hearted approach to electricity deregulation.
