I'm over here living large, minding my own business, basking in the afterglow of my vacation, and celebrating the fact that I no longer have to take that phone call unless I good and damn well please, when Gregory K.emerges from the wilderness over at the facebook site and starts worrying everybody about just what might happen if "The Grid" goes down. (sigh)

Allright ....... I supposse it is time to get serious.

The map below links to a pretty thorough, if somewhat politically correct discussion of electrical generation, distribution and use from MSNBC.

 

 This here little gear links to some very well done maps (pretty colors) from NPR that tie specific sources of power to specific lines of distribution.

Then one of our all time favorite sites "How Stuff Works" explains, as you might expect, how "The Grid" works.

Finally, that last little gear over there, offers you the opportunity to buy the "Power Grid"  board game. 

I think I'll worry about the WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!! part after breakfast.
