After hearing the news today, I'm recalling a description of the big
outage in '76 (? I'm too young to remember) in the same region.

IIRC, in my power systems class, we discussed the matter, and my
prof said that the same issue could cause it again, and that, due to
the sheer scale of the infrastructure, it was virtually impossible to
effect cost-effective refurbishing of the system to prevent it.

This sounds like the same deal...Anyone have any thoughts on the
matter?
