I don't worry about the grid. Too many ways to protect it.

Don't say that too loud David... It interferes with our plans for instituting utter "Kendemonium"..... <VBG>

But secretly, that's my take on the grid as well...:0) With advance notice of potential instability to the grid, it is very easy to take certain non-priority customers off-line temporarily until they can be assured the system is stable.

And the funny thing is... that process can work with a number of different operations where refineries are taken offline or put on standby, trains held in their railyards, and planes parked in US irbases and airports (as opposed to that sick Lockerbie joke that was mentioned in earlier posts).

We can "destress" the economy very effectively until we know what is working at a minimal level of functionality and what isn't.

And yes, I quite agree with you on the US economy humming along this summer in preparation for the end of year follies. Then I see the first of the year hurting grocery stores and pharmaceutical companies as people consume their stored goods.

I also see gold PLUMMETING as all of those folks who bought it in preparation cash it back in for dollars and equities. And I expect the mother of all stock market rallies too (dependent on whether we still bombing those intransigent Serbs, of course.. :0)

And if that is the least that happens, we can all count ourselves extremely blessed.

Regards,

Ron
