Energy Emergencies,
Higher Prices: What Needs to Be Done
What are energy prices like to be over the winter?
How are states planning for energy emergencies? What programs and
services are available, particularly for low-income consumers? What
can Congress do? A Capitol Hill briefing on Wednesday, October 12,
seeks to answer these questions. Speaking will be the administrator
of the Energy Information Administration and representatives of the
National Association of State Energy Officials, New York State Energy
Research and Development Authority, and National Energy Assistance
Directors’ Association. The October 12 briefing will run from 3:30 pm until 5:00 pm in room
HC-5 of the U.S. Capitol. Contact: Diane DeVaul at the Northeast-Midwest
Institute (202/464-4009).
Great Lakes Water Levels –

The Great Lakes Task Forces on Wednesday, October 12,
will host a briefing about the International Joint Commission’s
revised plan of study on the water levels and outflows of the Upper
Great Lakes. The briefing, featuring Dennis Schornack,

of the IJC, will begin at 2:00 pm in 2325
Rayburn House Office Building.

From Edison to Enron
– New Book
Praeger Publishers has released From
Edison to Enron, a new book by the Institute’s Richard
Munson that highlights the business of power and what it means for the
future of electricity. “This splendid book,” said one
reviewer, “is as readable as it is rigorous in its fascinating
journey through the creation and the evolution of the electricity
enterprise in the 20th century. What sets Munson’s
work apart is his probing exploration of the powerful and diverse
personalities who collectively shaped what has become the world’s
largest and most complex machine.” Click here to read more reviews
