Some of you need to recognise even reputable journals such as IEEE Spectrum sometimes publish FUD articles - the "peer reviewers" may miss the most basic of commonsense checks and a stupid article - FUD in this case - is published.
Engineers aren't stupid and as an EE who has a background in control systems and power distribution I can say this should never have got past the peer reviewers for the simple reason I pointed out - the disturbance caused by an eclipse is trivial compared to the day/night cycle.
"Cold fusion" is a notorious example.
