Pet peeve rant
It’s not “people” without power it’s Customers
When they say on the news 40,000 people without power it’s the number of outrages not “people”
One house outage (one customer) could mean 5 people
That is all
Agreed.
Losing those high tension power lines is a hard thing to replace quickly.
At Centerpoint can do it (mostly) pretty quickly.
Agree in principle, however….
Up here we have a cooperative, so it is members, not customers. Also, there is zero way to count members, but there is an easy way to count meters.
Yep. After Hurricane Harvey there were about 2 million power customers that had lost power.
