Bill,

Actually it did happen for two reasons.

The first was Janet Neapolitan decided that for super-bowel security, even though it was shitty weather outside and no one was really moving around, that is was essential to security that there was not to be even a 15 minute black-out.

I agree no one of any political persuasion would plan or condone the health care facilities rolling black-outs.  But it did happen to the health care facilities because of incompetent planning and testing.  The result was the law of natural consequences. 

The problem is the greenie self-elevated elite are pie-in-the-sky theorists without the science knowledge to back what they believe are running or better ruining the show.

Both liberals and conservatives have good and bad ideas.  It’s up to all of us to watch closely as politicians don’t tend to do what’s expected but what is inspected.
For multiple published reports that this indeed happened please go to the Drudge Report or Google the subject.
