    I also want to highlight Florida - which has around 10 different electric grids…

      Someone much smarter than me can weigh in, but wouldn’t that be preferable in a place that could regularly see massive storms?

      This way the whole state doesn’t lose power because a hurricane obliterated part of the state?

      And I’m sure those grids must sell power between themselves when necessary.

        That’s not how grids work. Hurricane doesn’t look at administrative borders.
