I'm in the middle of the frozen tundra in Canada, we're powered entirely by renewable energy, we've got snow storms, blizzards, floods and some serious thunder storms and I can't even recall the last time we lost power for any noticeable amount of time. If anything having to reset the clock on the microwave is the only reason I'd know it went out. There's talk of moving to a smart grid system because ours is dated, so wtf are you people working with?

I do love me a good flashlight though, I've got a couple around the house just in case and one in my bag at all times.

I am also in Canada. Our province runs the power grid on coal and sold the utility to a private company that doesn't bother with the expense of upkeep on infrastructure. They built a sweet skating rink though.

Energy in Canada should be a crown corp. I'll fight you over that one!

Uh, I agree?

Energy distribution in Canada should be a crown corp. I'll fight you over that one.
