If the nation's electricity grid needs major improvements to help avoid future
power blackouts, consumers will foot the bill. That's the prediction from Ohio's
top utility regulator. Alan Shriber, the chairman of the Public Utilities Commission,
says it would be fair for customers to pay for those kinds of improvements in
the future. But he adds, if an investigation shows the recent blackout was sparked
by utility company negligence, the stockholders should foot that bill. Shriber's
comments come in response to questions from Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen.
