Ok well please dont think I am having a go as I am not. But it seems evident to me that the proof is in the pudding.
We can have major storms that will take out power to 1 maybe 2 villages (usually by bringing down overhead power lines), we have never had a crisis that has resulted in such a catastrophic loss of power. Except when there was the major strikes in the 70's i think.
The emergency backups within the UK national grid allow and compensate for powerstations, substation etc to go offline or explode or whatever and the result is usually a slight flicker in the lights in a house. There are backups to absorb major spikes that in efect should prevent a situation like the one in the US occuring.
Had a system such as this been in place in the US then the power cuts affecting the million and millions of people would not have happened.
Thats why the US system is flawed, it has failed and that in itself is the proof.
