Electricity crisis eases in industrial East and Midwest
The coal strike's impact on power supply eased as utilities in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and nearby states boosted non union coal shipments and bought power from other regions amid milder weather. Labor reports show layoffs lower but ongoing curtailments remain in some areas. TVA reports 24 days coal on hand, while Allegheny Power System relies 60 percent on external power. Ohio Edison notes 35 percent of power bought externally.
