The only immediately-implementable solution to the Energy Crisis is
widespread, comprehensive reduction of consumption.  This has not
occurred despite the pleas to do so.  The public is either too carefree
and/or too foolish to realize the consequences of failing to take these
calls seriously.

Hence, we NEED an involuntary reduction in consumption via a short
blackout.  Too many have no clue what a blackout is really all about.
I remember the Summer of 1996, and for a little while it was "cool,"
but after about 30 minutes no electricity sucks - bad.

Humans don't learn until it's "in their face."  And even then, they
sometimes don't learn.  But a blackout would be a good "warning shot."
