Consider the government dufas who is in charge:

"Tweaking the power grid’s frequency is expensive and takes a lot of
effort, said Joe McClelland, head of electric reliability for the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

"Is anyone using the grid to keep track of time?" McClelland asked.
"Let’s see if anyone complains if we eliminate it." "

I guess he doesn't know about how clocks with synchronous motors operate.

I guess he is trying to top Obamas technically incompetent FCC chairman
who gave permission (after his boss got a big donation) to proceed with
a system that interferes with GPS?

Uhem! "Dufas" is a proper family name, I hope you mean "doofus" which
describes a complete dolt. As far as I know none of the Dufas family is
in charge of the national power grid. ^_^
