Re: Do NOT rely on Mill's assessment and predictions, re: the grid.
His is a 'stand-alone' prediction.
Perhaps, somewhat accurate in itself, but because of the interconnectivity/interdependency factors, and the domino effect, it should be considered a ultra- best-case senario.
What happens to the grid when telecom goes down?
What happens to the grid when banking is disrupted, and the workers, including emergency repair, can't be paid?
What happens to the grid when civil unrest occurs in each locale adjacent to the plants?
What happens to the grid when water delivery systems are disrupted, and x number of utility-related personnel have not stored sufficient/any water reserves?
What happens to the grid when the food chain is disrupted, and same senario as with water supplies, above?
What happens to the grid when gasoline supplies are disrupted, and at least some of the neccesary personnel can't obtain gas to get to work, at any time?
What happens to the grid when, with civil unrest occurring, some or manny key personnel choose to remain home to protect their families?
What happens to the grid, when heavy transport is so disrupted, that gas and coal is not delivered in sufficent amounts to fire the plants?
(in reality, this may not be a factor, as the military/national guard, at least until their own telecom and comm and control system breaks down) ?
The permutations are endless.
