Will shine no more, for a long time she will be without salt:
With merchants, bullies, wolves odious,
All confusion universal monster.

ABSTRACTS
A severe drought in the Northwest is likely to cut into available power
supplies throughout the West this summer. The giant hydroelectric dams
of the Columbia River typically provide about 30% of the region's
electricity are key suppliers to the California power grid during the
peak air-conditioning season.
"The West broadly has much less power available for hydro generation
than in an average year," a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
staffer.
Connecticut will be closely monitored as it heads into the summer
months with "inadequate" supplies in the southwestern portion of the
state to meet demand, the commission said.

U.S. faces higher summer power costs
California, Connecticut facing tight power supplies
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
said Wednesday that most of the United States would have adequate
electricity supplies this summer, though parts of the West could face
price spikes and power outages.
The commission did warn in its annual summer assessment that the
outlook for hydroelectric supplies, a major source of power for Western
states, was "not good."
Moreover, parts of Connecticut continue to struggle with tight supplies
ahead of the summer.
Nationally, rising fossil-fuel prices, especially natural-gas costs,
are likely to drive up electricity bills this summer.
West faces tight energy supplies
A severe drought in the Northwest is likely to cut into available power
supplies throughout the West this summer. The giant hydroelectric dams
of the Columbia River typically provide about 30% of the region's
electricity are key suppliers to the California power grid during the
peak air-conditioning season.
"The West broadly has much less power available for hydro generation
than in an average year," a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
staffer.
Less hydropower would mean the West will turn to high-priced natural
gas as an alternative, which would contribute to higher power prices
for the region.
"We expect electricity prices in the West this summer to be higher on
average than over the past few years, driven solely by the use of
gas-fired generation to make up for hydroelectric generation," the FERC
staffer said.
August, September concerns
Surging economic growth in Southern California combined with an
extremely hot summer would leave the region with inadequate power
supplies in August and very tight supplies in September, the commission
said.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has forecast
above-normal heat in the West this summer, the commission pointed out.
California is prepared to pull supplies of power from the Southwest and
the Pacific Northwest. But federal regulators remain concerned that
these imports could face transmission congestion and be unable to reach
customers, leading to a supply shortage.
Under exceptionally hot weather conditions areas within New England
could also be left with insufficient electricity, the commission said.
Connecticut will be closely monitored as it heads into the summer
months with "inadequate" supplies in the southwestern portion of the
state to meet demand, the commission said. The independent operator
that oversees the region's grid has secured 218 megawatts of emergency
resources in the form of portable generators to help keep the lights
on.

Well, no problem in my area of the woods. We got tons of salt and gas
and generators for our electric needs.

Salt is symbolic of money. Since it was a valuable everyday item, Roman
soldiers were partially paid in salt.
