I do not work for the grid and last involvment in that area was working for Eastern Electricity Board as an analyst/programmer upon a COBOL DPS7 mainframe circa first half of the 80's and worked upon a new plant management system mostly (distribution level so upto attaching to the main grid). I've had no involvement in that industry since then. I have also worked for the Department Of Health, RAND, and numerous other industries and involvement.

I have no axe to grind. Hope that adds some clarity.

Several people in this thread have said that you are wrong to place blame entirely on the grid. It's unlikely that they all work for power distribution companies.

I have never placed blame entirely on the grid... Can we not lower ourselves into this sort of sordid methods of trying to put words into others' mouths?
