One year after the wind storm that knocked out power to almost half a million people, questions are being asked about what how we can stop that from happening in the future.
The power is out... and it might not come back for days. CMP estimates that most Mainers should have power back by Saturday - but what do you do in the meantime?
TV viewers and Black Sails fans, you finally have something in common. Starz will join the ranks of TV channels offering their services to stream independent of any cable package, even tossing in the Outlander Season 2 premiere as an incentive.
Let me start this by saying I am OK with nuclear power for the good. It is a very efficient and if kept up to code and produced safely can be a clean energy source. That being said, there s a downside to nuclear power. Remember the Chernobyl catastrophe back in 1986?
It would take 4 large nuclear reactors to power the cable boxes in this country. They are one of the biggest users of electricity in the United States.
What's are possible solutions? Don't subscribe to cable, turn your box off when you're not using it or suck it up and pay!
The forecast for today is heavy rain and wind with gusts up to close to 50 mph. Of course with the wind there is the possibility of power outages. Whenever there is a threat of a power outage I go on a cleaning rampage of sorts. Is it just me? Or do you do the same thing?
There is some good news and some bad news in this story. First, the good news. New England's power grid operator says wholesale electricity prices dropped by nearly 23 % regionally last year. 23%! Electricity prices are now at their lowest levels since 2003.
