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

Unfortunately our enemies are under no such restriction. One does not need to *perfectly* understand a pipe organ to smash it to bits...

Do you all remember the tree that caused the So. California outage in 1996?

The cause of the August 10th outage causing seperation at the Northern
and Southern Interties was a fire originating within Bonneville Powers
jurisdiction. The cause of the fire was a tree contacting a 500 KV
line and the resultant flashing initiated the fire. Of course, the
lines sag when heavily loaded, sometimes as much as 40 feet lower than
normal. Bonneville Power is located in Oregon.

   Unfortunately our enemies are under no such restriction.

Looking PAST the present situation and ignoring the present - we're engaged in DEBATE here, to which END a few BASIC terms and CONCEPTS need to be made CLEAR, and, ANYWAY, one would have to have SOME KNOWLEDGE to intentionally do in 'the grid' in the first place ...

No one gets it yet. Why am I not surprised?

You people, attempting to speak to and ADDRESS issues FAR above your comprehension level ...

I suppose this is the future of the Internet - idiocy attempting to do rocket science.
