A federal report on the September 2011 blackout found “grid operators’ lack of adequate real-time situational awareness of conditions throughout the Western Interconnection.” Two agencies called for “more effective review and use of information.” SDG&E President Mike Niggli on Tuesday said his utility would expedite the recommended fixes in planning and coordination with other utilities but deflected blame—saying his company’s system “operated the way it was designed and should have.” Are you confident a massive outage won’t happen again?

Regarding Patch's response to this comment:
A 'typo' is when someone hits the wrong key on the…Read More keyboard, like typing "Democrut" or "Demacrat." Calling a Democrat a Republican is a MISTAKE and party affiliation is very easy to check check these days.
Maybe this is just a "blog," I'm not sure. But if it's a "news site", and the people writing stories are purporting to be "journalists" or "reporters" could easily do better and should do so. Let's not minimize a factual error in a "news" story as a "typo."
