Energy Crisis Deepens Since 1965 Blackout Across Nation

The AP reports a growing U S energy crisis since the 1965 Northeast blackout. Demand for electric power doubles every decade while excess capacity declines to about 15 percent. Nuclear expansion stalls and coal, natural gas, and fuel oil face shortages amid political turmoil and new regulations. TVA and Bonneville show slim margins. Florida Power & Light cites delays at Turkey Point as a factor.

Energy crunch flags United States fuel supply

The Missouri Ledger notes Minneapolis utilities running on a 2 percent reserve and a nuclear plant awaiting licensing from the Atomic Energy Commission. It cites natural gas shortages and projected long term demand, with a decline in gas wells since 1955 and a shrinking supply of residual fuel oil as refinery outputs favor refined products. The piece hints at broader shortages across the country.
