I can't get into details how i know, this is probably readily avaliable public info, haven't really looked. I didn't sign any nondisclosure agreement, it was just more of an ethical agreement for who i worked for at the time. I don't work there anymore, so it's not a big deal to me.

Anyhow, there has been a major move in restructuring power companies where the major players were doing away with the distribution/transmission of power and were only going to focus on exploration and production for profit reasons, or atleast this is what we were told. It was said that power was going to be distributed like telephone service(using one main line) where people would have multiple options in who they bought from. This litterally had us all belwildered on how they were going to pull this off and why would would the power companies give up so much money.

The point is, that if a major event happened that fried all transmission lines and transformers it's hard to tell just who will be responsible for restoring these lines. This plan to my knowledge has not went into effect(unless you already live in an area where you have multiple options), but i know the paper work is already a done deal and power companies have been in the process of making changes for 10+ years.

Long story short, power companies no longer want anything to do with transmission lines. Supposedly this was going to be for the good of the people and create competition in the market.
