thats pretty ridiculus that 1 power plant can cause so many problems
Yeah, for sure. It's like a house of cards, one goes and we all go.... You'd think there'd by systems in place to prevent the widespread nature of this...

I wouldnt mind an occasional power outage here, that way I could justify spending a couple hundred on UPS's. Not a single one for me in 7 months.

Nope, they didn't fix the dependency. The New York grid needs outside power... The Niagara plant. Seems history is repeating.

It's funny to watch the traffic videos right now. It's nice to see that in times like these, people will come together . . . . . . and still cut others off. :p

They were showing a clip of this major intersection where you would like to ASSUME people would work together and zipper merge, but instead the people on one road were pretty much refusing to let anyone else in.

Things like this are the reason my father's house has a gas generator for the whole house.

They had better fix the power in the cities tonight...or they are going to need the National Guard. All the departments are basically going on tac alert right now.

Interesting how the power went out in NYC, Toronto and Albany but I'm OK here in the Boston area.

What kind of generator is it?
How much does it cost?
How long can it provide full power to the entire house?

Since when did calling someone a 'crazy canucklehead' merit a witty comeback?

It does make sense. I was calling you a loser and you are.
