There was a thread recently on a subreddit talking about hn threads that get outside the hn circle of competence (nuclear weapons in that case) and this thread is giving me the same vibe. I work in utilities and have worked in multiple countries/continents and all over the US (and lived and worked in CA) for munis, coops, national carriers, giant IOUs etc.

If you see something you disagree with here please treat it as "I implemented notepad.exe in elisp" level of not even wrong.

Thank you, I got the same impression, I have relatives and friends who work in government roles for local and statewide energy operators and ran this post by them, hopefully I did not butcher the details too much.
