why is the US grid so feeble that leakages of this size (and surely a whole neighborhood’s gas network getting heated to these temperatures is detectable, right?) aren’t automatically disabled by the power company’s computers or some other controllers in the network?
I see, so less many US house’s capacities in total current leakage? This post makes me so grateful I don’t have a gas connection in my building
edit: was that total current leaked in the whole neighborhood or just the one house?
