"Obviously they don't stay very clean very long it takes a lot more to set them up." For McCarthy, however, there is one thing that makes it a bit easier than, say, the Cleveland show at the I-X Center. "It's much easier in the water, they naturally float better than they go down the road," he said.

For Laura Roth of Vermilion, though, they're all the same and other entities has to be raised to a higher level than has been required or practiced in the past," James Torgerson, president of Midwest ISO, said in prepared remarks.

Associated Press WASHINGTON Congress is under pressure to create regional groups to enforce quality standards and monitor electric transmission lines as lawmakers work to prevent another massive electricity blackout like the one last month that darkened homes from Ohio to New York.

Deputy Energy Secretary Kyle McSlarrow was set to testify Wednesday before the first Senate hearing into the Aug. 14 blackout. He wasn't expected to pinpoint the cause of the outage, which also hit parts of Canada. The U.S.-Canada task force investigation is still in the beginning stage of its inquiry. Pat Wood, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and several existing transmission monitoring groups were to call on lawmakers to establish a system of mandatory reliability rules that would be enforced by the regional groups.
