Union Official Sees Preventable Blackout Cause at Cornwall Plant
Michael Sampson of Local 12 AFL CIO Utility Workers Union warns the Northeastern Seaboard blackout might have been avoided if New York Consolidated Edison had built the Cornwall emergency power plant. He cites 2 million kilowatts of capacity as enough to meet the emergency, while opposing officials cite Hudson River scenery and pollution. William Packer of the National Utility Workers Union backs testimony before investigators and urges permits for emergency plants where engineers deem necessary. The unions acknowledge transmission line failures can trigger outages even with nuclear and other power sources.
