Link: U.S. Power Outages - Maryland
Why do you think the power companies can get away with (1) outdated infrastructure and (2) frequent outages and (3) raising rates every year?
I have a friend who just retired from the Belgian air force, a colonel and fighter pilot, attached to U.S. Central Command in Tampa for the last 4 years. Every time the power goes out he comes over and laughs and laughs. "You live in such a backward country!" he tells me. "Don't your leaders realize that nothing works without electricity? If this happened in Belgium, the entire government would be replaced before the next weekend."
