I would love to see EVERY power company shut down simultaneously for an hour or so, just to give those wankers a taste of the world w/o power.

Ya know last summer all of San Diego County and Northern Baja lost power for about 24 hours due to some maintenance snafu in a Yuma, Az substation knocking a bunch of power plants offline. A couple of million people in the dark until power plants could be restarted and slowly brought back online.

Radio call-in shows were a very popular way to keep in touch with events. You wouldn’t believe how many called in to say that they noticed so many stars in the sky during the blackout besides the ones saying they were eating their ice cream from the freezer compartment before it melted.

Summertime, nighttime lows in the mid fifties at worst.
