Built in Blackout

Examines the November, 1965, electrical power failure which blacked out most of the northeastern United States. Presents the idea of a nation-wide system of regional grids to link power companies and public power agencies with transmission lines to avoid future, more serious blackouts. Gives examples of successful national systems, such as Sweden, and probes the bitter opposition between private and public power companies.
