TODAY'S PHOTO

Hammering out an energy policy Greek consumers of electrical power should brace themselves for a difficult summer. Yesterday's accident at the Ptolemaida power plant in northern Greece will intensify pressure on the already-strained electricity supply. Power blackouts, which were already expected, will become more common and problems with Greece's power grid should increase by the year.

This correct decision will restore the spelling of a location that derives its name from a renowned naval family from the island of Spetses.
