They are lying to us!-----NERC’s latest reliability assessment is unreliable

NERC’s mission is to keep America’s grid reliable, which it has clearly failed to do. - From CFACT - David Wojick

There is a deep fallacy that lets NERC systematically avoid saying how bad things really are.
This fallacy is the dangerously misleading use of the word “normal.” 

Here is a good example (out of many). Their basic finding is that “all areas are assessed as having adequate anticipated resources for normal summer peak load conditions.”...

• The fallacy is that there is no such thing as “normal” summer conditions for a given day, week, month, or season. 

They really mean average conditions, and these are rare, not normal...
We need a realistic reliability assessment.
