This storm is just one more excellent example of why the nation's

In today's world, electricity is expected to be there 24/7...and when

If the electrical grid is not updated for whatever reason, why don't
houses/apartments come equiped with their own local electrical
generation?

It is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that the thing
you think should be done cost money. The power companies do their
best to keep costs down. But if you would like to pay twice is much
for power, I am sure they could fird a way to spend the extra money
improving the system. Why don't you start the ball rolling by sending
the power company twice as much as they bill you? Please post here
when you start paying twice as much for your power.

Dan,
Of course power companies try to keep their cost down. But the
solution you put forward, individuals sending twice their bill, is
ludicrous
