|  | Making Competition Work in Electricity by Sally Hunt
California's struggle to come up with a long-term solution to its energy crisis has national and global implications. Increased use of computers and other appliances and the lack of adequate power plants are the norm across the U.S. and, in many instances, power market reforms and privatization have the potential to do more harm than good globally, unless they are planned out carefully. As a result, 25 other states in the U.S. moving towards deregulation-and the key power providers and industrial and consumer constituencies within those states-are watching power market deregulation and reform with great interest. This book is for them. Power Crisis: The Solution promises to be the one book at the center of this debate and the first to present sensible solutions to power market reform. The aim is nothing less than recommending market-based solutions to the problem of power market efficiency and reform. AUTHOR: Sally Hunt
