Maybe 8-14-03 needs to be added to 9-11-01 as a reminder of that? Environmentalists have been attacking the economic and energy base of this nation for decades.Im sorry but to compare this with 911 to me is just wacko altogether! looks to me like there wasnt any looting and only a few fights over damn phones theres no comparison if you cant live without electric for a few hours god help you if terrorist do attack a power grid !

Nuclear power. Clean, safe, and cheap. Just ask France, the one thing they got right.

Frankly, I don't think it's the enviros or terrorism - I think it's the Air Intel Agency doing an "exercise" during time of war to make sure the civilian agencies can handle the job in case of real terrorism.
Enviros would have left a note - on the Internet.
Al-Quaida never does just one job at a time - at least 2 at the same time, they try for as many as possible (9/11).
Just loved Dubbya's poker face tonight at 8:30 - like he was so upset.

The author of this article is a jackass.
The state of New York has sufficient capacity to meet the demand for power even in a 100-degree heat wave. This blackout was NOT caused by a lack of generating capacity.
This dumb sh!t can't even tell the difference between a local blackout caused by a lack of power and a catastrophic failure across an entire energy grid.

"Preliminary causes of the outage could have been caused by a squirrel, lightning, or terrorism."
What about lightning-fast terrorist squirrels?

This is a lot more than living without electric for a few hours. There is massive business damage over this. How much do you think it costs to restart a plastic extrusion line, electric arc furnace, reschedule millions of air tickets. If this never happened again, so what, but what if this became a monthly occurrence? Implications are huge and we will see it in the stock market monday morning.
