I know its, not just telco's who do this. But I've got to wonder, does the PPL's PR department really think no one will notice a 1300 megawatt plant vanishing from the grid? Was the reason so bad, its better for people to speculate reasons instead of saying what happened. "Industry sources said the outage was at the giant Colstrip power plant in Montana, where units 1, 2 and 3, totalling about 1,300 megawatts, tripped off line for unknown reasons. PPL Corp, Colstrip's owner, declined to comment on the plant's status for competitive reasons."
