Power companies blame the problem on various unusual circumstances. For one, there is a shortage of both coal and available coal-carrying railroad cars. For another, natural gas-the best alternative fuel-is in even tighter supply. And, conservationists' lawsuits have slowed the construction of nuclear power plants, which may cause thermal pollution and radiation dangers. If such obstacles could be overcome, the companies imply, there would be no crisis. But there is far more to the problem...
