One Worldwide Power Grid

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thinking-through-tat-one-again dept.

randomned writes "A little ironic that this article on a world wide power grid was published in the September issue of Wired. With the recent outage on in the northeast, think of what could've happened if the entire world was on one grid." As someone who spent 23 and a half hours without power, I'm thinking this is a brilliant plan!

    I'll see your 23 hours and raise it to 41 hours. Yes folks, I got power back at 9:00am (EDT) Saturday, so all you less-than-twenty-four-hours-people can take your weak assed rhymes elsewhere. Funk dat.
