...I'm just a little bewildered. After the last major outage in NY, wasn't
the guvment supposed to work on a solution to the cascading power failure
problem of the grid? I mean, the quote on CNN was that 21 plants went down
in 3 minutes. Shouldn't the system allow other plants on a grid to pick up
the slack for one going down? Seems obvious to me, so I don't get why it
doesn't work that way...?
