The Kosovo, Serbia settlement negotiated by the G-8 countries is cause for relief but not celebration. The provocative withdrawal of humanitarian observers and North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) bombing enabled Prime Minister Slobodan Milosevic to accelerate the Kosovar expulsions radically. The new arrangement confers only a vague promise of "substantial autonomy," and Yugoslavia retains sovereignty over Kosovo indefinitely. The state-by-state battle over the nation's $206-plus-billion-a-year power business reached critical mass when California brought competition to its electricity markets in 1998. Ohio has proven unexpectedly ferocious in resisting this utility blackmail.
