I thought it was funny, all the hot air getting blown around about where the fault was, when the people who are most competent to determine the cause were too busy fixing things to worry about where it started.
Canada blamed the US, the US blamed Canada, George Bush blamed the French, accused Canada of bringing in Uranium for their nu-cue-lar plants, and figured the way to fix it all was to bomb Niagara Falls. :)
Quebec got payback for the big ice storm. They were unaffected, because their electricity distribution system was so torn up by the storm that a lot of it was completely upgraded to modern specs.
Maybe this will be the spark that will get the utility companies to upgrade the antiquated distribution system here, but I doubt it. Regardless of which generation facility set off this incident, the real fault lies in the obsolete distribution system, and the people who should be upgrading it.
