BGP flap limiting may be correlated to this action... the good thing about
packets is that they don't require energy to be dropped; electricity needs
to be consumed somewhere, probably generating heat.

There are 3 power grids in the continental US:
Western, Eastern, and Texas.

I don't know of too many electrical distribution networks that use DC
interconnection to limit AC failures from propogating.
The main cause of AC disruption is a power plant getting out of phase
with the rest of the power plants on the grid. When that happens, the
plant "trips" of goes off-line

But there are also some similarities, such as electric grids use DC
