What Are the Odds?

As power outages strike San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City, I’m struck with a question. On any given day how many of the 50 major metropolitan areas experience major power outages?

I think a major update of our power grid is long overdue, is unlikely to be undertaken by the private sector, and is one of the highest priority items in any infrastructure spending plan, but I’m not convinced that it’s time to panic over some unseen foe hacking into the grid quite yet.
