So in a way you are saying "Due to the sudden increase in entropy
surrounding hurricane Irma and the arrow of time (nature tends toward an
increase in entropy), Florida's new power grid became old really fast."
Just checking to see how my new model fits, seems OK so far.
Or another way "Hurricane
There has already been an interesting article published about the Florida
power company problems. This article says there is widespread damage
despite the fact that Florida Power & Light has one of the most
storm-resistant and modern grids:

Back on here. The power companies seem to be keeping up. The number of
customers without power is holding at 500,000 to 600,000.
If we did not have this method of distributing electricity, I doubt we
would build it now. It is a le

Exactly why I am saying we are missing the true source of energy of that
storm, not just air and water vapor, hot and cold. Lots of energy in the
vacuum to pull from
A better model is a vacuum manifold that is losing symmetry as it decays to
a new, lower vacuum state and reading that energy into
There is hardly any wind but the power is already off at my house, as of 12

Okay, now the wind is beginning to pick up.
CNN reports that 72% of Miami, FL is without power.

We can build nuclear bombs but can't keep the lights on when a storm moves
through.

Yeah… but to put that failure into perspective, mother-nature builds her own
bombs and blasted us with a preemptive strike.
Irma had the power of a 60 megaton

Here in Georgia we build nuclear plants, but they keep ending up costing
twice as much as originally estimated ($14 to $29 billion), and taking 6 or
8 years longer than planned.

And definitely too much for the Prius battery, which is only rated 12 V *
150 A = 1.8 kW. Not as much as a regular car traction battery. A Prius

It makes sense that in the near future, the electronics for all plug-ins and
hybrids be redesigned to work both ways seamlessly – to power the house if
needed using the same cable that provides battery charge. This makes the most
sense with fuel cells and Honda already has a product for this in
