talkpoliticsNor'easter leaves New Yorkers without power. I'm not surprised.
I know It is cruel to say "I'm not surprised". I know it is needed to say: "I am sorry..."
And I'm really sorry, but to my mind problems with electricity are expected. Irene, Sandy, snow, rain, breeze, sunny weather.... It looks like everything can be a reason of problems with power.
Look at these pictures:
This is not New York. But it doesn't matter.
This is Houston. The Energy Corridor. The Energy "Capital" of the World. The Centre of Energy companies.
Last hurricane was 4 years ago. And it is everywhere in US. Even worse.
I wonder why they don't fall. But I am sure after the first strong wind everybody will be sorry about poor houstonians.
Energy companies are resposible for this dog's breakfast only. But the problem is bigger. The problem is Americans are fighting for rights of gays, for abortions, for paid sex, but they doesn't want to fight for civilized power network.
