The Greenbrier, W.Va. -- Speaking at the 115th annual meeting of the
Association of Edison Illuminating Companies, in a presentation entitled "Profit and Peril
in the New Millennium," David L. Smith warned of "clouds in the silver lining," that could
take a toll on the "Goldilocks economy." The "clouds" included: 1) a stock market crash
due to overvaluation 2) a credit crunch due to excessive personal and corporate debt 3)
higher oil prices due to excessive dependence on foreign oil 4) a devaluation of the dollar
due to record trade deficits 5) a resurgence of inflation due to excessive expansion of the
money supply by the Fed 6) Foreign military and/or financial crises in an increasingly
unstable global economy 7) A third oil shock, caused by an interruption of oil supplies
from a major oil-producing region. Taking a long-term view, Smith pointed to "sunrise
sectors" of the economy and predicted electric utilities would eventually emerge as
environmental heroes in the "Hydrogen Age," selling electricity and pure water produced
with hydrogen fusion without pollution.
