I’d guess sites like the WH and Capitol have plenty of backup gen capacity on site.

Crap. If I got stuck indefinitely in an elevator, I’d shoot myself. Especially after my daughter made me watch “Devil” with her.

Are they saying what’s going on with that power plant? Is it a nuclear plant or conventional?

“It’s 73 degrees in SD right now. They can live without air conditioning.”

Terrorists threats, and your concern is about air conditioning?

Sheesh!

Both incoming lines were severed and they have no idea why or how but they know it isn't terrorism.

What a bunch of ass-clowns.

And so California gets another taste of consequences of expecting your neighbors to provide your power while claiming themselves green.
