   This can't be true.

You're right - once again ...

What? You disagree?

You (and others) who can't name the principles or rationale which underpin the prime logic and purpose behind a 'gridded' system?

How survivable is the grid if all the coal fired plants are taken out of service by destruction of the railroad delivery of coal? Assume rebuilding the key bridges takes 6 months and the current "on the ground" storage is estimated at 6 weeks. Is there enough reserve in other forms of generation?

Good FR terror post.
Pay special attention to "oil refineries." [We haven't built one since 70's and if we lose even one or two, it would shut things down..for a loooong time]

The lack of refining capacity...this is treason on the part of those who opposed this over the years.

It was a rough volunteer job, it was new here then and the cops didn't care for us, no cooperation. The gangbangers got police scanners, would here our reports to one another and chase our cars down the street. When I was about 6 months pregnant and winter I stopped -g-

I have a way around the scanners when my wife is working dispatch. I call her cell phone from my cell phone. No radio traffic. The officers have cell phones too. CDMA cell phones can't be picked up on a scanner. The cell phone dispatches are logged into the CAD system. Fairly secure. San Diego Sheriff's Dept installed mobile data terminals in the cars. Dispatch is done digitally. Nothing for the bad guys to hear.

First of all -

a) you tell me what 'the grid' is: what it's benefits are, what was the historical derivation or development of same over the last 100 years

b) then briefly explain alternative topologies to 'the grid' - also list the negative factors that such alternative topologies bring with them in contrast to 'the grid'.

We need to *perfectly* understand a few basic terms here before we go into any hypotheticals ...
