Mmmm toasty, treat electricity with respect people !
By the way. I also wanted to mention that the headline of that article while attention grabbing is to me unconscionable and belitttles the signigance of that event.
If the power grid were to be disrupted, even catastrophacally, people wouldent be dying for years from radiation sickness.
Sure there would be chaos panic even mayhem and death. Hell remember Katrina? But I dont see the kind of sudden and prolonged loss of life that Hiroshima suffered.
The power grid would eventually be repaired eventually but the econmic and psychological impact would be hard to imagine.
