Anyone care to explain to us foreigners why the US just can't get it's [censored] together when it comes to electricity? Seems like it's the only first world country where they suffer from frequent power cuts.

You'll understand when they introduce air conditioning to your country and you have a week of hot humid weather with temperature peaking over 100 degrees Fareinheit.

Plus you probably need to learn how to comsume more electricity.

Max,

Maybe you need to get out of your apartment more?

I did go to work in Manhattan on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but I didn't notice anything. On Wednesday when I got off the Subway I did see a bunch of guys wearing hardhats standing around, but I didn't pay much attention. Then I ran some errands down south of my place where there was power.

If you watch the news, you would think there is massive chaos around here.

LOL. The only extended power cut I've experienced was after a huge storm ripped down thousands of kilometres of power cables across the entire country, blacking out virtually everyone. And it still didn't take them 5 freaking days to fix it. Their excuse is air conditioning? Did someone forget how to reset the breakers?

I have no clue, but a kilometer is 1000 meters.

You're greatly exaggerating the frequency. I can't remember the last time my power went out.
