disconnect requirements [RE-wrenches]

[Andrew Truitt]

I think PG&E used to require that disconnect and dropped their
requirement a few years ago.  Here in the DC region some do and some
don't:

PEPCO and BGE do not,

Allegheny, Dominion and NOVEC do.

"Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer
fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous
fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers
more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's
wireless!"
