    Power grids are very interlinked, it helps with grid stability. It would be weird if they weren’t.

      I know these things in the back of my head, but I never think about them. like during the opening shots of the second Gulf War, when they use those cruise missiles that didn’t have warheads, they just had a bunch of carbon filament wires to dump on their power substations; like that makes total sense but I had no clue that we did shit like that
