listening to an interview on WNBC with a Con Ed guy. Very very evasive. Its either something they are trying to coverup (sabotage), or some kind of monumental act of human error that initiated a trip of all automatic systems.

Did they take away the lightning strike explanation? I had not heard it was ruled out, just that was what they thought and it was being thoroughly checked to verify.

Don't surprise me, they have give three or four causes for this event and all seemed to have been denied by several sources....

I heard that the power companies deliberately shut down their generators so they wouldn't overload once the first event (unknown supposedly) happened. If this is true, they could have overreacted and now it's going to take a good long time to get things up and running.

Rightful fear of lawsuits.

I was just listening to that interview myself. He did sound evasive, but it sounded to me like he was being evasive because the source of the problem was with an outside power grid and he didn't want to pin the blame on any specific power authority until more is known.
