It's very easy to dismiss those you don't know, particularly if their
viewpoint doesn't match with yours. How about if you hear it directly from
one of the companies involved? If you have any technical questions or
beefs about Idaho Power's outrageous claims, ask them, not me. (Need more?

>Considerable effort and resources are being dedicated to meeting the
> objective of a problem free transition to the new millennium. However, it is
> incumbent upon us to advise you that by its very nature, the electric utility
> industry is very much dependent upon an electric grid that connects utilities
> throughout the western portions of North America. This interconnection is
> essential to the reliability and operational integrity of each connected utility.
> This also means the failure of one electric utility in the interconnected grid
> could cause the failure of others. In the context of the Year 2000 computer
> problem, this interconnectivity compounds the challenge faced by the electric
> utility industry. The company could do a very thorough and effective job of
> becoming Year 2000 compliant and yet encounter difficulties supplying
> services and energy because another utility in the interconnected grid failed to
> achieve Year 2000 compliance. In this regard, the company is working
> closely with other electric industry organizations concerned with reliability
> issues and technical collaboration.
