Good editorial in the L.A. Times about the local Department of Water and Power’s failures during the ongoing heat wave.  Though not in L.A, it did impact me, at least since that’s the excuse my webhost is using for their most recent spate of outages.  But it’s not just L.A.  NGF and I watched a transformer burn near his place Saturday before getting caught in one of the 60-something outages reported on the SDG&E website that day.  Clocks and stuff here at casa got knocked offline at least twice over the weekend.  Rants about conservation only get you so far.  Preventative maintenance and planning for weather extremes need to be improved.
