"The outage was probably caused by an employee removing a piece of monitoring equipment that was causing problems at a power substation in southwest Arizona, officials said. "

Find the person and execute him.

Well hell, I guess it's not causing problems now.

They have so little generating capacity that a couple of downed power stations leaves them blacked out.

Good thing we’re in a depression. Imagine what would happen if another 20 million Americans were working and those businesses were using power.

A perfect example of the Obama Principle.

That's because America america really isnt; the current powers that be are incrementally undoing Andrew Jackson's campaign.

The current occupier in chief has ONE concern: the first golf at the hole (I probably didn't say the proper).

The fact that one employee messing with some equipment can wreak havoc like this is very troubling.

If, in some alternate universe, there was no AC, there wouldn’t be many folks in that part of the country. Swamp boxes weren’t all that effective. However, the Eco folks would take us back to neither AC or evaporative. Actually, they would eliminate electricity for most of us by their proposals and the “efficiency” of green power.

One of the things I learned way back with the Y2K thing.

Just wait until we are all forced to drive electric cars!
