I find it strange that a town with multiple high-tech fortune 500's can't power itself. This begs several questions on adequate management of taxation at the local level, and corporate interest in their own community's ability to support them.

Note that both prioritize emergency services like hospitals over residential circuits or DCs. I live in the area, and I don't see a big deal over annual mid-summer blackouts. Though you should be able to get an SMS so you know when to leave your fridge and freezer closed.
