Okay. We're taking bets, here. Michael says it will be the enviros who take the rap -- probably via communications work by the White House (Bush has already said the power grid needs complete overhaul, which can only mean one thing with him). Ian is betting on Canada taking the blame -- as is CNN, you can't go wrong blaming Canada, that socialist bastion of Swedish-like bastards that it is. In Ontario, looks like Premier Ernie Eves is a good bet, according to pundits. (Myself, I think I caused it by sending too many emails to PEN-L the last 48 hours.) Any other bets?
