Are you sure ?

Here in europe that was lost in the "privatization" of the grid: Nobody
was charged with paying for the extra power needed to capture lost
cycles, so now they just try to keep it close to 50.0Hz and don't
care about the integral.

I would be surprised if it were any different in USA.
