"Atlas Shrugged".

That only applies to California doesn't it?

Understood the sarcasm, but the phrase really does apply here. I used to work for the utility in Cleveland. Most of us transmission operators had kind-of thrown our hands up in disgust as the non-responsible entities (marketers, non-utility generators) seem to have a larger say in grid operations than do those of us that are held accountable. I shrugged 2 1/2 years ago and took a new job in Tennessee, after 20 years in FirstEnergy and its sadly-missed predecessor, Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. Many others left over the last 3 years as well.

I guess that I should add that the latest release from NERC indicates that a series of line trippings in the Cleveland area occurred during the hour before the cascading event. I can see some problems there.
