Getting a lot of power surges here, Union (Union County)

We seem to get a lot of power surges around 8AM and 8PM

Power went out the other day, and just a little before a heat wave

Apparently the geniuses running the show are messing up again...

I think they can easily solve these problems, they just don't feel like putting in the effort and spending the extra three cents to do it.

My main concern with this is refrigeration. I think that refrigeration units all across NJ are affected. I think that this is a big concern with food, not only in the home, but especially with restaurants, food warehouses and etc.

If the "geniuses that be" are going to leave the grid so unprotected, then they are going to need to create some dedicated lines to the food industry and other essential services, so that one week, a few thousand people don't get food poisoning because thousands of compressors went offline during the night and no one knows.

That kind of level of increased bacteria can be too subtle to detect...because the food doesn't immediately go bad, it just has less refrigeration, for hours and for hours over the course of days. Then, the cheese that would have lasted x number of days, lasts less, no one notices and the whole population gets to consume just a nice little bit of more poison in their diet.
