Less electricity, more blackouts/brownouts.
All of those in the Ohio River Valley and DC area are about to learn how well Obastards war on coal works.
I can not believe that the infrastructure the Nations Capital relies on could be anywhere nearly this vulnerable! I don’t believe it is under “normal” circumstances.
Id think that there would be multiple redundancies involved at least for all government operations .
Cutting power to DC is a good thing.
Just like when Congress took the summer off before A/C was invented.
A distinct lack of power...
My guess: an exercise belt snapped back and hit a utility pole in its left eye.
instantaneously, the government declare it was not a terrorist attack.
Believe nothing till it has been officially denied...
Hey, I live in Bonner County in north Idaho, and that happens all the time. Squirrels on the power lines, too.
This is what is going to happen. When the load on the system becomes to great, the system shuts down. Otherwise, the transformers will overheat and blow. Before that happens, the failsafes will switch off.
Just overload an extension cord and hold that cord in your hand. It gets HOT, and it either has to melt, or the breaker kicks off. But, if the breaker can handle that load, and the extension cord cant, then the cord melts till it shorts. The very same thing with the grid. It senses the load, if the load is to high, it kicks the breakers to save the system from melting down.

If it was foul play, we’ll never know about it.
Just like a dozen very questionable events since 2002, the script is the same: Immediately state it is not terrorism, have a high level politician get on prime time telling the people you won’t rest until you get to the bottom of it, then a willing media drops the story.
Still, I think it wise to make provisions in case the power is out for an extended period of time.
My guess would be a lack of electrical current due to some kind of interruption.
(Yes, I know - paging Captain Obvious!)
If the government declares something is or was not, it usually is or was.
Martin, it is an imperfect world. Sometimes bolts fall out.
