Right on! I think if people had done a cost-benefit analysis in the tradeoffs between risks of worker injuries / deaths versus risks of death / injuries / upheaval during blackouts (and especially extended blackouts), they wouldn’t have set the standards the way they did. But really I bet the decisionmakers were putting 100% of their attention on the first type of risk and 0% of their attention on the second type of risk.
I’m not planning to do anything to help advance this cause, but I very much hope somebody does. (I would sign a petition or whatever.)
