Queens Have Power in New York

No, no, not those queens, the borough!
The problem isn't being caused by lack of power generation, it's because the existing infrastructure hasn't been updated or even maintained. If I lived in New York and had been paying those outrageous electric bills, I'd want to know where my money went.Earlier today, Con Edison announced that it had restored power to the last of 25,065 affected customers — a term that includes households as well as residential and commercial buildings — at 11:25 p.m. on Tuesday, more than eight days after the blackout began on the evening of July 17.That's the good news.
Here's the bad news:About 14,000 customers in Staten Island lost power this afternoon because of downed electrical wires, Consolidated Edison said.

Sailor, What's outrageous? I live in a house with no heat, no air. We use a woodburning stove for heat & fans in summer.(I live in the So. Cal Mtns, 20 degree winters & 95 degree summers) The house is all electric circa 1970 & our electric bill last month was $547 That's for lights, electronics & Kitchen. Ken Lay is laughing his arse off.
This site is one of the best I have ever seen, wish I had one like this.
