So, based on your title and the first post, and without reading the link,
this thread is about how peak power consumption can crash an electrical grid,
and how you can do your part to conserve energy.
:D

'Look before You Leap' the thread deals with IRAQ's elec grid

With the 30 years behind the times, of our Grid. You certainly don't want to recharge all those electric cars at once.

If we built all those Nuclear Power Plants, that would replace all those Nasty coal fires. But you still have a GRID from 1980.

Too put it very basic, the gauge of the wire is too small to carry the wattage :hunter:

Actually the article deals with the Marines pulling all their troops out of Anbar Provence especially Fallujah.

Most of the provence is run by the Iraqis now.

I hate explaining things.

The title alluded to the surge in American military personnel and the results of that surge, and the quote used by the reporter from Maj. Gen. Kelly saying they were turning the lights out on the Marine operations in Fallujah.

Must I properly designate a map, as a MAP. Loosely that constitutes a picture, just as Panther's Pretty Boys are Loosely called women. :laugh:

Uncleal, I really have to take issue with your quoted comment here. I resent that you call them "Panther's Pretty Boys" because they are the ugliest "its" that I have ever encountered in my whole life. Do you realize that they can give people nightmares, especially when you see them late at night, just before going to bed? :biglol:
