Right:

Re: "Jim McIntosh, director of grid operations ...said the problems that day initially were caused by record temperatures, which caused demand for power to soar. On top of that, he said, several key Bay Area electricity plants, which normally power homes and businesses, failed.

That forced state officials to attempt to pump more power into the Bay Area from other sources. But despite the CBS report's contention, he added, there was no problem getting power from Southern California to Northern California that day. The real problem, he said, was an inability to ship it the final few miles to Bay Area customers, because some transmission lines here couldn't carry that much juice."

>>> So your own quote says: "grid short-comings"... not shortage of generated electricity as Cheney was saying in his press briefings.
