How many do we have here

who were affected by the power outtage earlier this year?

msnbc has a nifty little article about security leaks in our fucking power grid. if this shit is vulnerable, what about other vital services that we have? does anyone else have any 411 on what kind of shit is out there that is being hush-hushed?

I had no power for almost an entire day. I read until it got to dark, then couldn't sleep so early in the evening so had to run out and buy batteries.

According to a friend of mine, all power in the US runs through one plant somewhere in the Midwest for soe reason. So if they take out that plant the entire country loses power. He actually told me this a couple years ago, and I didn't believe him. After the entire east coast losing power though...
