Okay, he is a strong defender of his views on the blackout. I guess what I should have said was that he does not come here on TM solely to attack (like we have seen with other Freepers).
For someone like me whose knowledge of electricity is limited to Ben Franklin with his kite, or recognizing when the light bulb has burned out, it would be helpful to have a Cliff's Notes overview of the power grid, if possible.
Aren't there several interconnected power grids in the country, and when one goes down, can't the downed grid usually draw electricity from the ones that are working?
