This is a different issue, http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/power.crisis/

The US has much more to worry about than the UK, like high water tables,
vicious weather and earthquakes. The smart money goes on hosting in Texas
(San Antonio) not California though -- relatively
earthquake/tornado/storm/etc-free!

On the upside, the US doesn't have BT "engineers" to deal with...
