Vice President Dick Cheney warned Wednesday that the United States must generate more of its own energy or the country risks power shortages like those in California, but on a national scale. Plus, he said, those plants will need other infrastructure, such as a means of obtaining the coal or gas and transmission lines. Cheney, chairman of the president's energy task force, was echoing concerns voiced earlier this week by Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham, who said a failure to address energy supply problems stands to threaten economic prosperity and even national security. The vice president said the task force's recommendations would focus on long-term solutions, but an important part will focus on the environment. Nobody wants a gas pipeline through their community.
