Admittedly, before this storm, I had a bias against JCP&L (“Just Can’t Power & Light” hereinafter, “Just Can’t”]), my sporadic electricity supplier. You see, every time there is a slight breeze, the power flickers and then occasionally goes out. “Just Can’t” blames mischievous squirrels (or woodchucks flatulating in the woods) but that raises 2 (at least) scary questions: does “Just Can’t” really believe customers will accept that squirrels can unleash such destructive power outages or, more frightening, is the electricity grid that feeble?
“Just Can’t” needs to answer such question.
