On another thread where a utility company shut off service due to nonpayment and a family died due to running a generatir inside the house. Posters actually said it was the utility company’s fault.

So i’ll be counting how many here think the utility company should be sued because there are households with children being denied their ‘right’ to electricity.l

“Someone in the White House was recharging their vibrator?”

Sorry FRiend, the one at the White House has a kick starter and runs good on regular gas.

Haven’t been paying their bills.

We pay their bills. (grrrr.)

Must have shut down the wrong coal-fired plant.

There was no immediate information on what caused the outages – in some cases confined to only parts of the buildings – or when power might be resumed.

With all the hot air in DC, you'd think they'd have a convection windmill somewhere to keep the lights bright.

DC’s yuppie environmentalists take electricity for granted — maybe they need to learn what it’s like to live as our ancestors did.

Let them charge up their 'lectrics and run the gauntlet through PG county!

I guess one has to have an excuse to turn off surveillance when removing hard-drives from various email servers.

No doubt Oprah was busy praising some aspect of “blackness” when the event left them in the dark...

It is only certain buildings (not the whole district), which is kinda odd. White House is one of the structures. You’d think a back-up generator would kick on (like the Pentagon has).

University of Maryland, College Park was without power. Classes cancelled.

Strange. There was an outage in Sacramento today too.

Gotta be more than coincidence.

I thought I read awhile ago that the power grid around the DC area and parts of Maryland were really bad, and also that they were losing some capacity because of older plants being shut down.
