What is Canada's utility statusgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Electric Utilities and Y2K : One Thread |
The possibility of the grid going down couldn't happen at a worst time. Imagine the temperature dropping to minus 40 below zero and the grid has just failed. This will be no picknick for a lot of Canucks. Does anyone know what the status of the utilities is in Canada? Are there some provinces that it would be more advantageous to be in come the turn of the clock??
