  2. A *New* Possible Cause. on Deregulation and Niagara Mohawk - Is There a Story? · · Score: 1

    Here's my theory on what happened.

    I believe it was due to an unpredicted solar storm. This site talks about the effects of solar storms on the electric power grid.

    Evidently the SOHO Satellite isn't functioning properly at the moment...This site talks about that. This is the only satellite that monitors solar wind and geomagnetic storms.

    So, solar wind could have been the culprit for the blackout catastrophe.
