Our Electric Grid – As Unsinkable as the Titanic?
A
catastrophic failure compounded by a lack of failover strategies and an
inability to think the unthinkable. These are the main reasons for the
sinking of the Titanic. Could these also be the post-mortem conclusions
for the next large-scale electric grid failure? Even as we note the
100 year anniversary of that maritime tragedy, we need to consider the
fragility of another highly-regarded engineering marvel –our electrical
grid, which is often called the most complex machine ever built.
