MechanicalJester,

The urban residents don’t have any electric backup. The wealthy do, but if you live in the Portland Metro area, don’t have natural gas heat, and the power goes out? Fairly fucked.

I live rurally and we got super super lucky to not lose power, but we were going to be fine if we did.

This is the coldest it’s been here ina long long time. Other parts of the country would mock the severity, but this kind of weather is rare here.

Portland Gas Electric raised residential rates 17% for 2024. Thankfully all that extra revenue is going towards making the grid far more reliable /S
