No blackouts...

2001-01-12 16:02:36+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Despite the "Stage 3" emergency, no supply related blackouts in the Bay Area last night, although it sounds as though a large coalition of politicians and industry officials are working to change that. Who is John Galt? This does bring home some scary reality, especially since we have the example of North Korea which got overly dependent on cheap power supplied by China and the Soviet Union, and when those sources dried up entered some really[Wiki] hard times.
