What's so special about a fire? Doesn't NYC have dozens of these a day?

MSNBC is relieved. They finally found a fire.

I guarantee that they'll juxtapose it while showing Bush's statement.

Thanks.

They say the fire is in Manhattan -- midtown, near 59th street bridge.

Well, they can reroute some of the steam into cold water holding tanks/ponds, and pull the fuel rods up a bit, like banking a fire. They can also release a tad more cooling water into the reactor chambers to bring it down a bit. Consider this--when the power load is really light, say in the middle of the night, or 4:00 am, and the load is at minimum, they can do this. The generators don't spin down completely, they can take a few offline, and let the rest spin at minimum. They have to be able to handle a miniumum load as well as a maximum.

Rolling blackouts. They'll shift what they have on the grid to give everybody "equal time".

You mean "durn" city people. :)

Just called our cousin in the city and teased about going out looting - told us the hardest part is figuring out what to wear.

Careful, MO1, I got accused of being a Saddam supporter for asking what is the big deal.

when we discover city people are more hardy and durable

Of course! They are Americans :'). I just hope the smokers are careful though. They will be easy to spot in the dark.
