In my view this is a terrorist attack until proven otherwise.

I don't agree - many of us in the utility industry have expected this type of event for the last few years - ever since someone in Washington decided that each utility's wholly-owned portion of the transmission grid should become a common carrier for everyone else's electricity. Reliability isn't a goal any longer - its not profitable.

Amen brother! Open the markets up and everything will be just grand,they say. Hey, IPP's will take care of everything. Of course, if we don't start building some transmission lines to handle all of this new generation, it doesn't do much good.
