Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean said the Bush administration, through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, tried to merge the New England's electrical grid with New York's when he still governor of Vermont.

"I raised hell and told them they better get a lot of lawyers," he said in a telephone interview. "The president always sees bigger as being better, and that's not true. What we really need to do is let local people take care of things. What we need is good, strong regional grids. We do not need huge megagrids.
