Default Lets Black Out the USA

OK people. The entire USA is having a heat spell. This means
everyone will be turning on their air conditioners, fans and
everything else electrical. Of course, as always, screw your
neighbor. They dont need to stay cool, just YOU. Remember, YOU are
the center of the universe, so hoard your electricity. Use as much as
you can. Turn on every electrical device in your home, and dont
forget all the power tools and other devices in your garage.
Turn it ALL on. Hoarde, and hoarde more. Lets see if we can black out
the entire USA.

Default Lets Black Out the USA

Okay, class. Time for your spelling lesson:

To store a way a chest of golden treasure is to 'hoard'.
A "horde" of filthy pirates might steal what you stored.

You just can't have it both ways, though.

(And as far as the crankiness, well, if the PoCos would beef up the
grid a bit rather than play the stock market so much, perhaps there'd
be no problem)

I live in the central part of the US, where it's hottest now. The
latest electric bill may be the only one I've ever gotten (yet) that's
over $200.

Yes, we just finished with that in CA. It was the hottest that I can
remember, and the electric bill (and I live in a fairly small house
under 1300 feet) was $434.00. Needless to say, I signed up for the year
round bill today that makes it the same price every month, and then they
will reconcile it one way or another every June.

Neither does the idiot who wrote it. :-) But, there *is* some value in his

Hoarding electricity would require charging batteries (or something like that).

Being a 24 year old white male living in America, I have two
philosophys in life.

1. "I" am the only person that matters in this world, and the whole
earth along with everything on it, belongs to me.
2. My neighbor as well as every other person on earth should be
screwed over and they deserve it, just for getting in my way.

After reading this message, I decided it was time for me to hoard as
much electricity as I could. I just purchased six 1000 foot spools of
wire at Home Depot. I now have all 6 of these spools connected to my
electrical panel. If my figures are correct, these 6 spools should
store one half years worth of electricity. If I can get my Visa
credit limit raised to purchase six more, I will have a full years
worth of power stored on those 12 spools in my basement.

I want to insure I have enough power in storage and I want to do my
part to screw over my neighbor and everyone else who is getting in my
way in my world.

Make sure your spools of wire are submerged in at least 6 inches of
water.
That will help extend the storage time.

Great plan. Good luck.

Yeah, and also make sure you get the 22ga.
It'll hold a lot more than 4ga., 5 times more.

What a waste of school taxes........

Any how, I often wonder what the cumulative
Effect of shutting down ALL gas powered
Devices here in the States, for one day, two days,
would be?

Nothing compared to the cumulative effect of your drug intake, sty.
