Such stopgaps are needed because the aging transmission lines that link U.S. regions make it difficult to move power swiftly to where it is needed. "If energy is the lifeblood [of the economy], transmission is the arteries and the veins," says Thomas Kuhn, president of the Edison Electric Institute, which represents major power companies. But "congestion on the system has increased a tremendous amount," Kuhn notes, because the U.S. hasn't expanded its 2,000-mile grid of high-voltage lines in more than a decade...

...panelists clashed over the roles that coal and natural gas should play in expanding supply. Richardson wants new plants to use natural gas because coal-fired generators spew carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming. Kuhn notes, however, that coal prices are typically lower and more stable than natural-gas prices and argues that better technology promises to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions as well...

Both Joplin and Nyro (who died of cancer in 1997) are back together onstage, after a fashion--each being celebrated in a new off-Broadway show. In Eli's Comin', five performers (including golden-voiced Broadway vet Judy Kuhn) wend their way through a bookless compendium of 20 of Nyro's best-known songs. Though assembled into a very loose narrative (young girl arrives in New York City; by the end she's sharing confessions with what looks like a therapy group), the show works best--marvelously--as a showcase for Nyro's idiosyncratic and influential music, a lush, emotionally...
