It takes an ORDER from the GOVERNOR to do this? Why the hell can’t the ISO and utilities make these decisions?

It takes an order from the Gov for the utilities to be allowed to make the decision. Likely the backup/additional power generation is too "dirty", from coal or gas or other hydrocarbons, so they aren't allowed to use them except when the governor needs some political boost and allows them to.

I spent 30 years in the power business. I don’t ever recall having to beg a governor for permission to turn on a power plant. This is so pathetic.
