It is inevitable that we will loose electric power by some act of nature in the future. The domino effect on our electric grid system would not be able to handle multiple states borrowing from each other. The outage could last months or years depending on how damaged or how"fried" the system was. Personnel required to repair damage my not have the needed parts and equipment for the number of sites involved. These workers may also be involved in protecting their property and families in the insuring chaos.
Just a thought to think about.
