It’s going to be mighty slow around here for the next couple of days.

I’m feeling pretty good about moving to Temecula at the moment. Although, I wont’t feel quite as good during the commute tomorrow.

I have to say that my experience with Southern California Edison hasn’t been very pleasant so far.

Thankfully, I’m left for L.A. this morning.

If there’s no power, is this considered Green Energy?

Just kidding guys.

I think the Republicans cut the lines so we couldn’t watch Obama’s speech.

They say this was from a “procedural error” during routine maintenance.

Sounds like somebody tripped over some wires, oops. Straight out of the cartoons.

Perhaps this is what caused the incident…

I thought this was what everyone wanted?

Privatize infrastructure.

Corporations quickly learn to make supply scarce to raise rates increasing profits.

I was curious if people who has solar panel installed, do they got outage as well? And why nuclear power plant also has to be shutdown when you need them.

San Onofre tripping off is the biggest problem I see. Seems like a serious grid design flaw.

I’ll ask my neighbors weather they kept power with their panels… I’m not sure if they have the battery bank, or just feed back to the grid. I would imagine you’d run out of power in the evening if you don’t have the battery bank.

I’m curious how other systems work but, my system shuts down when power is lost on the grid. It’s suppose to be a safety feature to prevent someone working on the line from getting zapped.

Also, the system shuts itself down at night. Battery systems are hugely expensive.
