The general atmosphere at POWER-GEN International was much more positive this year than last. It seems the industry has decided Chicken Little was wrong. Deregulation marches on, but the sky is not falling. Change is in the air, and change is never easy or comfortable, but it`s not the end of the world either. New capacity remains at a near standstill in the US as industry leaders continue to watch the nation`s reserve margins narrow, but this year talk was of the upcoming promise of construction and capacity additions instead of last year`s gloomy predictions of sweeping brown- and black-outs due to overstressed grids.
