"California had a shortage of electricity supply caused by market manipulations, illegal[5] shutdowns of pipelines by the Texas energy consortium Enron, and capped retail electricity prices."

A cut and paste from your link.

Why don't you start a thread on California blackouts, because this thread isn't about that. You really don't have a clue.

You are so ignorant that you don't even understand where the blame falls. Neighbor get to suffer for trusting the system to tell the truth and do proper thing.

Neut, as I understand corky, he is talking about the electric delivery system(infrastructure) being a problem not the supply being created at the origin. The lines are over taxed resulting in IR loss (voltage drop) in the lines. This is also aggraved by the increasing line temperature. Regardless, someone at the electric company and the county have been asleep at the switch so to speak.

Thumper,
You have the problem exactly right. Fees were collected for each lot to upgrade the mains to serve the new homes, but the mains are still the same lines that were installed in 1981. I wonder where the money went?

This really isn't rocket science and is relatively inexpensive to correct. Who has the responsibility to correct the problem. Around here I believe the electric company would be responsible under the power commission rules once the initial system was installed.

I do wish you guys wouldn't bring up "Sciency Stuff" in Neut's presence - he gets all itchy inside and his posts get dumber than ever.

(Thump and Corky, other than your bothering with Neut, both your ohm's law comment and your analysis of the situation is 100% correct, of course... The grid across the continent is massively out of date, and broken into nonsensical, unlinked regions, making sharing excesses impossible in many cases.)
