[QUOTE=CoachKandSportsguy;2264272]Public utilities are accountable to the state regulator, your public representative, other than in TX, which is a third world utility system.
They may not be required to give a reason to the general public, but all outages with reasons are documented with outage time, and restored time, and submitted to the regulator. I checked the outage log at my mom's house here in MA, and the most frequent issue were squirrels. . .
It has been many years since I was active, however back then (90's) I kept hearing how vulnerable our grid is to sabotage/terrorism. Is that still the case? If so is anything being done to harden it?
