Mich & OhioRadio ads: power supply still unreliable/power co's unaccountab

[papau]

No links as yet - but it is reported that radio ads saying:

"We are just as vulnerable to a blackout. Our power supply is still unreliable and power companies unaccountable ..." are being run by US PIRG and Sierra Club and a coalition of 22 other national environmental organizations are running in in Ohio: (Akron, Canton and Toledo); and Michigan (Kalamazoo and Lansing), where power outages caused by the blackout in 2003 caused outages that lasted days. The ads began airing yesterday and will run about 25 times a day in each market through Saturday. The goal is to urge the Bush Administration and Congressional leaders that the electricity grid is no more reliable than it was a year ago, counter Administration spin to advocating its own energy bill and urge support for the plan crafted by Rep. John Dingell and others to pass free standing electricity reliability legislation.
