On the blackout and the nature of the grid
Advertisements [?]
A single error dumped oh eight million people into the darkness. To me this raises the issue of DISTRIBUTIVE energy generation. In fact, we might have to consider expanding this in a serious manner. I expect the industry to fight it, but in reality I should expect both to be part of the normal mix.

Things like this...nobody got killed, people mostly helped each other...also expose the thin veneer of technologically based civilization.

Oh and things are not fully back to normal. I was lucky to get cold cuts and cheese...but milk, cheese, even meat is not on shelves yet. Will get food out.
