Study on spatial networks cites 2003 blackout but offers no new misconduct allegations The passage discusses academic research on grid stability and references past blackouts, quoting scientists and engineers. It contains no specific allegations, financial flows, or links to powerful officials that would merit investigative follow‑up. Key insights: Nature Physics paper links critical nodes in spatial networks to cascade failures.; 2003 Midwest‑Northeast blackout used as a case study.; Comments from Jeff Dagle (PNNL) and Benjamin Carreras (ORNL) highlight scientific debate.
