The Nation: CAN IT HAPPEN ELSEWHERE?
(3 of 3)
A flat prediction of trouble is offered by Frank Zarb, former head of the Federal Energy Administration: "There will be a lot of brownouts starting in 1981 and 1982 in various parts of the country due to a lack of capacity." That concern is shared by Jack L. Weiss, acting chief of the FPC's Bureau of Power. Says he: "If plants now scheduled are completed, if there's adequate fuel, if there's adequate transportation [for the fuel], then, yes, we'll have sufficient electricity. But there's a real possibility that all of the 'ifs' might not happen."
