Would be sort of a problem with electric cars


Some 8,000 Commonwealth Edison customers remained without power early Thursday morning after powerful storms battered the Chicago area earlier this week. ...



A total of 556,000 customers lost power as a result of Monday's thunderstorms.

You read stuff like this after almost any bad weather, don't you? Rain, snow, sleet, high winds; power lines get knocked down, transformers blow. And they're seriously talking about electric cars? Hey, bring 'em home, plug 'em in? Bunky, the power grid we've got has trouble with light bulbs. It ain't gonna do no better with cars.


Maybe you'd better keep that old mule.
