I mean, this is a sick joke, right? No, apparently it isn't.

@Florence
All of the power companies’ execs must have attended the same Ted Talk. My power company here in the U.S. is trying to get us to do the same thing. Ours is still by choice though.
@CrystallineEntity Sorry, my point being, no one is exempt. Full stop. If you have a heart machine for example, the hospital has to provide a generator. Power company won't.
@Florence @CrystallineEntity This is insane. And I'm an American, I know crazy when I see it.
@VenomousHeroine @CrystallineEntity That is what everyone is saying. But it seems to carry on regardless. My own feeling is that the Gvmt will collapse if they really do go ahead with this as they plan to,.
