  • Govt? This is just FPL doing what they do best here- sucking at providing power and manipulating words for good PR. They are currently building a huge fossil fuel plant (one that will dwarf their most massive plant) while sending pamphlets to us its customers that only talk about how they plan to "Go Green!" FPL has about 1% renewable energy production. Let's build a plant designed to use fuels we are running out of that will require thousands of gallons of water we don't have in this drought.

  • nothing coincidence that is for sure.

  • as with the california grid shut down think of the monies made during this time. but the space station going just fine paid for by the people. think people before too late. all manipulations by gov. men behind the curtains.

  • Yeah, my response vid was a little weird considering how the news was doing its best to scare us again. :/

  • Ha ha ha, A preview of Hurricane season. At first I thought that they were testing the system or sabotage to a support facility. But, it turns out that it was worse, it could happen anytime again in the future given our Prehistoric electric power supply system. So, dust off the animal skins, Stone Age hunting and gathering tools, and prepared to go back to the future at least 3 months out of the year during hurricane season and a few times more during the rest of the year 200,000 BC style.
