Shut it off
That will shut down so much and really crash the stock exchanges in New York Sure the actual exchange will have backup power however a lot if not most of the brokers will not have the backup power.
Just to be clear I am all for it.
We're not literally powering all of that stuff. We sell electricity for very cheap. If we cut it off, nobody's going to lose power, they're just going to get a much more expensive electric bill.
2002 I think it was, something happened at a Quebec power station; big parts of Quebec and Ontario, along with New York had brown outs and rolling black outs.
Ya, if we were to suddenly, and without warning, cut off their power, it would cause major issues for the American grid. Check out Grady's Practical Engineering series on the subject on YouTube, or better yet Nebula.
