"Businesses and residents in London's West End are facing the threat of
a second day of power cuts as engineers work to fix faults in the
system.

On Thursday more than 3,000 people were without electricity as four
faults and a high-demand for air conditioning put extra pressure on the
grid.

Power was cut off in different parts of Soho for four hours at a time."

I presume this 'second day' of power cuts is a follow up to last
saturday's problems.


Just wait until all the nukes are shut down and we are dependent on 50%
of our power coming from windmills.
