Secretary urges sweeping energy overhaul in wake of California risks
Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham urged a broad overhaul of U.S. energy policy to avert potential California rolling blackouts and long term shortages. He cited underbuilt power capacity, called for more domestic production, efficiency gains, and diversifying energy sources including Arctic National Wildlife Refuge oil and gas. Critics say environmental costs loom over such measures while Kerry argues for efficiency and alternative fuels.

Marcia Epstein of Headquarters Counseling Center says fluctuations, not a steady climb, explain Kansas' figures, noting small population may exaggerate changes. A national hot line and local Kansas access offer help, with ongoing concern for preventing tragedy.
