Well there's a beautiful little coal-fired plant in Clearfield PA that has kept my lights on all night, even while surrounding counties were sputtering and failing.

We have a pair of blackstart generators driven by jet engines in Eddystone. No matter what happens, we can cut the breakers and fire those babys up, and the other turbines are spinning again in no time. For the life of me I don't understand why they don't have them in NYC so the city can get its substations up to provide its own power in a pinch.
