I understand when things happen that power will go off, but nothing happened - they just did it.
I doubt it, and how would you know if something happened? I don't mean weather related, stuff like a relay failure or computer glitch can trip you, a bad instrumentation reading from a RTD on the turbine or some such, happens every day
But ok, they are out to get you.....
Because they put out press releases that it was an ELECTIVE blackout. It wasn't for a reason.
Yeah, scheduled outages are elective, absolutely. You just were not informed of the reason.
they were only 'scheduled' a few hours before they went into effect a 2 am. In fact the TVA spokesman had said on the 6 pm news that the system was good, no power outages expected or planned. Then at 2 am, other news went out. Something slippery went on and I am going FOIA NES and TVA for communications going back six months.
