>> Now why is the Washington DC utility more paranoid than Minnesota?

Because they feed the Feds, and would be absolute fools not to prepare to the Nth degree. Any company in and around D.C. tends to be subject to greater scrutiny, if not by the govt., then certainly by the media. Goes with the territory, literally. ggg.

By the way, I was not able to achieve independent verification re a Mountain West power company informing its largest manufacturing customers that they should plan on shutting down for a week at the start of 2000, but my initial source is very reliable, so I am inclined to believe it to be true.
