I live not too far away from St. Clair, so I'm worried that I might be in a power outage soon.

The fire just happened at 6:30 PM today, so the cause of the fire hasn't been found yet.

Do you have any emergency back up systems implemented?

No. Just flashlights.

I'll be fine if I do get a power outage. It's like playing a game of "red light, green light" with the electrical system: you just have to wait it out.

You should be okay, even if the temps get bad this weekend, power companies usually buy and sell electricity to each other, keep the grid balanced... Enron used to be an energy broker lol

Plant was due to be shut down in a few years anyway, which elevates the 'IDGF' factor of its employees, hopefully not to the point of negligence

coal and nuclear energy are scams, Worldwide meltdowns imminent during solar flare/EMPS when the backup generators for cooling FAIL in their corroded leaking plants

Scam

The article did say that no one died, so that's why I didn't mention any deaths.

Everyone escaped without injury. That's pretty awesome.

Let's turn every statement into a moral issue
