He sounds like John Lovitz's "Liar" character right now.

No...there was no explosion...in fact, the power is starting to come back...yeah, that's the ticket...

Sounds like you're saying the government should call everything terrorism, whether it is or not.

Is it possible to give this guy a timeout for the evening? Check his post on his thread, it is near constant fear-mongering, tin-foil, and hysteria.

Actually, what he said is plausible.

Blackouts occur because the DEMAND exceeds the CAPACITY of a power plant because of a DISRUPTION in supply.

When that happens, utilities INTENTIONALLY shut down their generators, either manually or automatically, to prevent DAMAGE to their equipment.

Except that there were all of these SAFEGUARDS and REDUNDANCIES built in after 1977 to prevent this from happening again.

Unless one knows the EXACT spot to cause the disruption.
