The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Thursday said that a massive power outage that hit New York City and other East Coast cities was not caused by a terror attack.

Power outages were reported in the New York metropolitan area and Detroit, as well as in Toronto and Ottawa, witnesses said.

The outage was caused by an outage at a Manhattan power plant which destabilized the power grid as far as Canada, FERC spokesman Bryan Lee said.

"We have no indication that there is any terrorism involved," Lee said.

Sell those fuel cell stocks.

[Wright is right!]

"The outage was caused by an outage at a Manhattan power plant which destabilized the power grid as far as Canada, FERC spokesman Bryan Lee said."

I thought the problem was an overload on the Niagara Grid. And you don't have an "outage" at a power plant. Stupid media tricks.

Friend just called me from N.Y.C.-says it's too many people using too much power for air conditioning on a very hot day

Our AC is ground-sourced. Cost is about $1.15/day for 2800 square foot house in mid-Missouri (hot).

to quote the song--"IT'S OVERLOAD"

And please, let us rush to shut down the 2 nuclear power plants at Indian Head. Who wants or needs THAT power!! (All those "Greenies" would rather freeze in the dark (but in August, it is more likely to "broil" in the dark, and worry about rampant crime as people start burning down the neighborhoods.)

WOW-explain

[Hunble]

I personally do not give a damn. We supported the Patriot Act to prevent these problems.

If even a natural act can shut down the electrical power in America, some heads should roll!
