It’s only a matter of minutes until Obama comes on the TV and makes it known that our national energy grid is in need of improvement due to the last 12 years of congressional (read that GOP) bickering.

Start your stop watches.....now.

I hear there are scattered reports of cannibalism from inside the dome.

[Joe 6-pack]

Jindal’s fault.

There are LIV (low intelligence voters) subscriber to Face Book who will actually believe this and why I’m not.

The (unfortunately) partial blackout happened just after Beyonce completed a writhing , grinding performance worthy of a pagan fertility goddess ritual. Instead of the GOP one might look to a higher power. Perhaps just a playful tweak from the Almighty warning us that He is not to be mocked and those on who He has bestowed his blessings may also receive His wrath for their insolence and concupiscence.

Electrons scurrying to escape that execreble urban yodeling

[mnehring]

Oh good grief. It wasn’t a power grid failure. It was localized in just one quad of the stadium.

[PLMerite]

Start a rumor that it was The Resistance.

[MarkL]

Bush's fault, since he hated black people, so he made sure that there would be a Superbowl blackout in NOLA because of the hurricane!

[ReformationFan]

Of course. It’s especially George W. Bush’s fault.

Most places, like hospitals, have generators for “open heart surgery”.

and he is a “Professor”? Is that like being a “Reverend”?

To make this the greenest Super Bowl, the New Orleans Host Committee has partnered with fans and the community to offset energy use across the major Super Bowl venues. The exterior of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome features more than 26,000 LED lights on 96 full-color graphic display panels, designed to wash the building in a spectrum of animated colors, patterns and images. The system draws only 10 kilowatts of electricity — equivalent to the amount of energy used by a small home — and the lights are expected to last for many years before needing replacement.

Off the football field, New Orleans is embracing energy efficiency with help from the Energy Department. The city retrofitted four libraries using an integrative design approach — adding motion sensor lights, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, and upgrades to the building envelopes. These improvements helped cut the libraries’ energy costs by 30 percent and serve as a standard for other city-owned buildings. New Orleans streets feature more than 1,200 energy-efficient light fixtures. In addition to saving the city money on energy costs — an estimated $70,000 annually — the new lights help the city reduce routine maintenance due to their longer lifespan.

Embracing energy efficiency and renewable energy is having a profound impact on attracting developers and private industry in the New Orleans’ re-building efforts. The push to re-invent this destination city contributes to making Sunday’s game the greenest in Super Bowl history.

A Blackout in New Orleans is racist.

Sounds more like Johnny was playing with he power cord again
