Power outages happen sometimes in the normal course. They are not a new thing, and the fact that this one is planned doesn’t make it worse.
If you have specimens that you cannot afford to have warming up, it’s inexcusable that you don’t already have a backup power source.
- lilyball 7y agoPower outages don't usually last this long.
- fsloth 7y agoAny dime a dozen facility with any sort of need of continuous electricity has a backup generator. The point is not that they should have bought a new generator for this planned blackout. The point is they should have had it for decades already.
- batmansmk 7y agoYou are talking about 5 to 8 days of power outage...With one day notice. Science labs are usually NOT part of disaster recovery plans as they are R&D.
- alloutblitz85 7y agoLol what are you on? This was one days notice on a week's notice. Due largely in part because they neglected to maintain their infrastructure over the years so they can shave off operating costs - for better quarterly reports. This is not normal.
- egdod 7y agoYou know what can provide 8 days of backup power? A generator (along with periodic trips to the gas station). Which you should already have if your power needs are this critical.
