"Rolling brown-outs", please!  Southern California was dripping with the stuff, and was dying to sell us some.  Or a lot.  Whatever it took.  I thought, "If you can transport water from north to south for over a hundred years, it's mere common sense that you can transport electricity via all those damned power lines that web the landscape between there and here."

The capacity of the infrastructure can be a limiting factor.  I 
understand that the lines bringing power into NYC are near capacity but 
a sudden change when there's the threat of a recall - that certainly 
ain't due to a sudden increase in capacity.
