And by the way, load dropping is also known as load shedding, it frequently happens when there’s more demand than there is electricity to put over the grid. Certain loads are shed so that others can be fed.
Don’t forget to buy your travel insurance! 😆
Anybody remember Project Azorian in the 1970s, and the deep-sea mining ship, the Hughes Glomar Explorer. It’s probably just another ruse.
Unfortunate most modern journalists are lazy and uneducated on the subject matter about which they write. This article demonstrates that once again. This is nothing more than load dropping, it’s been going on almost since the invention of the electric grid.
