| 1479210 | 2021-08-10 08:03:00 | No cuts down on the mainland, but we built a house with wetback log burner and flat cookingtop as well as gas cooktop in kitchen, biggest problem for us is no power no water pump but I'm working on a solution for that. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1479211 | 2021-08-10 08:03:00 | whats annoying is it wasn't all that cold. we have had much colder temps this winter. so really it was not a case of "increased demand". it sounds like what happened is one hydro went out and they didn't have the back up running. |

We've got our own bore pump too, so picked up a generator earlier this year so I can run a lead to the pump. Have found that being without water is worse than no power. |

| 1479215 | 2021-08-10 22:06:00 | They are not prepared. They should invest in infrastructure immediately. "They" dont want to , "they" arnt forced to. It costs money, and these companies are there to make money. "we" no longer own all the infrastructure . It was sold off , big mistake :( This is what happens when dogma of a certain Political party wants to sell national assets & privatize everything. Its now market forces , the ~free market~ is built around maximizing profits , not maximizing supply . One of the many companies involved had backup generation capacity. They choose not to fire up that backup capacity (they admitted to this) , it would have been because of the costs involved for the sake of 1/2 day . |
