That's how it's supposed to work. I don't doubt your expertise.
However, THIS, I think has more to do with WEF, ESG. They get good boi credits when they fall in line with sustainable WEF principles.
Then they can't keep up with demand, so they cut power to customers.
Even more good boi points when they treat their customers like the peasants we are to them.
Considering how the first think Crooked Joe did when he occupied the office is to cut infrastructure, well, there's a pattern emerging, and it isn't pretty.
I was part of the rolling blackout. Power was off for 24 minutes. That's it. Most of us have heat pumps around here and they don't do single digit temps very well, so everyone was running straight electric nonstop.
If the NWO wants to cut power and smoke us out, no doubt that could be done, but not seeing how cutting off power 15-20 minutes really impacts anything.
Did you know at one time they traded power over AOL Instant Messenger? I don't know if they still do, but from 2011 to 2013 I worked at a "Fossil Fuel" power plant running their corporate network security, and I blocked AIM at one point because - who the hell needs AIM at a power plant? I was floored when I found out they used a clear-text play-time messaging service to buy/sell massive amounts of power.
Frankly I'm surprised things lasted this long.
I just did a quick search and found 2 articles mentioning AOL and Yahoo being used to communicate between traders and arrange sales - energy trading. One was 2014 and one was 2017 (when it looks like AIM went away and the traders went to other platforms). BTW - the fossil plant I worked at back then was in CA. I happened to be working in the datacenter the day that line was cut in AZ and threw San Diego (and a bunch of other places) into darkness. It was really nice being in the nice cool (and powered) datacenter...
Note - I didn't trade. I was network security. I only knew about it when I blocked AIM at the firewalls and IPSs and instantly had people in my office.

except TVA generates its own power and nuclear is considered 'uninterruptible', right? They elected to interrupt is how the news articles are relaying it: TVA ASKED local utilities to go offline voluntarily and they did. WTF?! There are contracts between providers and customers and laws governing interruption of power services when temps fall below a certain degree. These voluntarily blackouts breached ALL of those agreements is my point. There was no point or purpose except to basically to show what they can do, and they did it without regard to customers and the impacts these voluntary blackouts had on them.
