Would anyone know if there is any way to get a picture of what the actual Power grid looks like? Perhaps for the Western States?

Dave,Since none of the experts have answered, I'll venture that Dr. Ed Yardeni published a chart as an appendix to the Y2K Reporter, Nov. 8, 1997 issue. It shows the whole grid, including Canada. Transfer capacities are shown in megawatts.

It is in Adobe Acrobat format, so you can enlarge it section by section as you view it, for clarity.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Howard. I knew I had seen that graphic somewhere, just couldn't peg where...for anyone that hasn't seen it, the grid map in Yardeni's December 8th piece (NOT NOV 8 as per above) is great for graphically representing how interconnected each region is.
