Patriot Paradox

[Milwaukee_Guy]

i.e. Dark Start

IIRC - Industry term which details the problems of bringing up a large power plant if neighboring plants are also down.
Apparently many plants do not have the ability to "start" themselves. They require external power to resume operations. Thus a Paradox is encountered.

Best example was the NE blackout last year.
