Talk:Canadian Expert Compares North American Power Grid to “String of Christmas Lights that’s been Running Since the 1950s”/Temp

I am a Canadian journalist and writer and this story comes directly from an interview that I did with grid expert Donald McCormick, a senior contractor for Hydro One based in Ontario, Canada. Although this story only uses one significant source, Mr. McCormick's qualifications, as cited in the article, more than qualify him to make this assessment of the continental power grid. He is available for comment upon request. Since I am the interviewer and writer of this story, I hold all associated or related copyrights under international law.

Please do not delete this article for copyright infrigement related reasons, or due to reasons associated with the strength of the source. His qualifications are well documented.

Admin Says:

''This article has been nominated for editorial cleanup, that is, an editor considers it not to be publishable in its current form. The following reason has been cited: "still needs more changes - could be shorter, needs headings for the sources etc. see tlk page for more".''

The article is as short as possible considering that specific quotes and information learned from the original interview must be made public in order for this story to be considered "news". Article has been edited several times changing, streaming sentences and removing as many words as possible.

As for the article having only one source, that's because Mr. McCormick the first person brave enough to step forward and describe what he sees happening to our power generating infrastructure. This is breaking news if you consider what's being said, the qualifications of the person making the remarks, and people simply have a right to know when people like Mr. McCormick have comments.

Power Grid to be discussed by Canadian Premiers at Frederickton, NB meeting on August 15, 2007
This particular article is even more relevant due to the very recent special interest being given by the Prime Minister and the Canadian Premiers into the subject. The website ViveLaCanada.com posted an article on this very matter on August 5, 2007.
