i really don't understand all this talk about upgrading the power grids and how we have "third world power grids" and all that stuff. what can they do, upgrade the wires that connect each state? it was a freak occurance where all the stars aligned and everything went wrong at once. if this is going to happen once every 20 - 30 years where we have one day of no power, is that really this big of a concern? its being blown totally out of proportion because of all these other fears. its not everyday that there is going to be a failure in one place that takes out the whole northeast. failures happen all the time, even in nyc, but you just don't realize it because of all the backup plans new york has.
apparently now they're saying the problem started in ohio. if this turns out to be true, i gaurantee that if the same thing happened in manhattan no one would even know about it. hell, i bet the same thing happens in manhattan at least once (if not more) a summer
