I would have thought that anything like that would operate on GMT,
not any local time. So the real problem could come about around
10-11am. But then again people may do things totaly out of the norm
and really stuff up the usually predictable power usage patterns and
stuff things up big time, either resulting in too much or too little
power being generated and the resultant effects. This is my biggest
Y2K concern!
