No. Well, only when there isn't an inversion, but the inversion is when it is cold. So Catch-22 on us.

Europe, do not worry. As soon as Iran gets her Nuclear Power Plants running, I'm sure they will be glad to send all that electricity over to Europe. (sarc)

The idiots aren't putting enough smoke in their wires.Old electronic theory: there is smoke and noise in all electrical circuits. If you cause the smoke and noise to escape, the circuit no longer functions.

The oil-drip requires constant attention or it will get away from you. Very dangerous even when everybody is paying attention. Wood is best, although wood and coal combination is also excellent if more of a problem. Nobody on my street has a wood stove except me, but they are all rental units. Wherever Alaska is, it isn't on this street anymore.

Panic over loss of power for 30 minutes? Around here, people that need electricity (hospital, ill homebound etc have back up generators). Wonder what they would do if they were without power for 2 weeks?
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
They are all either Green Party or Democrats. There is no warmth to them at all. Just cold sneers.

I think you have to have an "inage" before you can have an "outage."

The old theories are the best.
Hmmm, hasn't it occured to anyone that elections are powered by smoke and noise in the presswires?

Wasn't so long ago that the whole northeastern part of the USA was down. Grid-based power systems can do that. Don't be so sure it won't happen again here.

Wherever Alaska is, it isn't on this street anymore.Knock on wood, we've been lucky. When we lived north of the circle, we used an oil-drip stove, and firewood when we could get it. Where we live now, we use an oil-drip in our workshop. I usually turn it off during the day and build a fire in the big barrel stove out there, and re-light it at night. The new drip stoves are supposed to be much safer. I sure wish I could remember the name...maybe it was Deville? For our house we heat with wood, but we also have an oil furnace and a Toyo. We try not to use the furnace much.
I suppose the rental units prefer not to have woodstoves due to the fire danger. Alaska is still here where we live, but I know what you mean. Oh, we had -10 last night but it's 5 above now and a few flurries.

We've lost almost 3000 in Iraq in a Country half way across the world during a war.
France lost 15,000 due to a heat wave in the city of Paris.
That EU thing seems to be working pretty good.
And these are the Allies that Kerry et al wants to "engage".
