seeks to Country ease reliance on energy imports after blackout ROME (AP) — Italians woe told that a blackout like the one that darkened North America last month couldn’t happen to them A day after power went out on the entire peninsula anger mounted Monday over the country’s dependence on imported energy and resistance to building new power plants Local politicians consumer advocates and others called cm the national government to take action against whoever is responsible for the outage that cut power to some 55 million people — 5 million more than were affected by the Aug 14 US blackout " ' Nearly everyone in Italy lost power and electricity wasn’t restored fully until 9 pm Sunday 18 hours after the blackout began Four deaths were blamed on the blackout including a woman in Puglia whose clothes caught fire from a candle flame “We’ll ask for the heads of all those responsible" Salvatore Cuffaro the head of Sicily’s regional government said Sicily was the last to have all its power which particularly iric Cuffaro because the island supplies the country with hialf its energy A consumer advocacy group Adisconsum joined the critics demanding prosecutors help ascertain responsibility “so we know to whom we should present the bill’’ Industry Minister Antonio Marzano ordered an inquiry but said an investigation had yet to determine the precise trigger of the outage The Swiss power company Atel said that an old fir tree had toppled onto a power line setting off the problem But an Atel spokesman Rolf Schmid insisted that a connection error by an Italian grid operator caused the cascading power loss throughout Italy Etrans the coordinator of the Swiss high tension network said in a statement that just a few minutes after the tree fell the person who coordinates with the Italian network called his Italian counterparts to tell them to increase production “According to the information we have the Italian reaction was much too slow to such an extent that from 3:30 am the lines from France Switzerland Austria and Slovenia were overloaded and disconnected one after anoth” er” Etrans said Nearly immediately after power failed Italian authorities blamed the cut on France which provides Italy with a major source of electricity and a backup line But France faulted Italy The head of France’s grid operator RTE in an interview in Monday’s Liberation a French daily called Italy’s dependence on imported energy “unusual" “We must build other interconnection lines between Italy and the rest of Europe" said RTE Andre Merlin The head of Italy's GRTN electrical network Carlo Andrea Bollino warned people to avoid elevators Monday because of a series of planned localized blackouts throughout the day while lines are tested The advice was galling to those recalling BoUino’s assurances soon after the North American blackout that Italy wouldn’t go dark Bollino tn an interview Monday in Turin daily La Stampa acknowledged he was wrong ' gram “We want to make sure that additional protocol is going to solve the problems and it is going to be enough” Kharrazi told reporters at the United Nations The UN International Atomic Energy Agency demands Iran agree by OcL 31 to allow unfettered inspections and stop all uranium enrichment The United States Europe and Russia have hiked up pressure on Tehran to meet the deadline The IAEA is sending a team to Iran for key negotiations Thursday then — the agency hopes — a new round of inspections will begin Friday ban insists it will not stop uranium enrichment and that it has a right to a peaceful nuclear program as allowed under the Nuclear on Treaty “We have always stressed that we don’t have any program to produce a nuclear weapons and all our activities are legal in the framework of our commitment to the NPT v and ogr rights based on NPT -- and under the safeguard of IAEA” Kharrazi said “Everyone talks about signing additional protocol and in principle we don’t have any problem to have more severe inspections because we don’t have anything to hide” he said LOGAN CITY LANDFILL v Will start dosing on£ hour eariien-v- w- Saivka 1 AutumriRbsejSpecial Monday£ Saturday
