The damage was devastating. A lot of places still don't have electricity. Most stores were closed, cars were abandoned. Some parts of the city were like ghost towns.

None of these bills contain any provisions to keep electricity affordable in Maryland.

Theres no electricity, stuff like that down there. Its a little different. Its going to be crazy.

Excessive use has been made with the word energy. Please use and state electricity as electricity. There is no such thing as renewable energy as far as electricity is the cause of concern. It deferred and transmitted electricity.

We’re really greedy about the electricity in our iPods. We hoard it. We’re like, ‘Yo, I’m only on half a f**k battery and I have a plane ride!

Time and task were both disorienting, for if you were to remove everything from our lives that depends on electricity to function, homes and offices would become no more than the chambers and passages of limestone caves- simple shelter from wind and rain, far less useful than the first homes at Plymouth Plantation or a wigwam. No way to keep out cold, or heat, for long. No way to preserve food, or to cook it. The things that define us, quiet as rock outcrops - the dumb screens and dials, the senseless clicks of on/off switches- without their purpose, they lose the measure of their beauty and we are left alone in the dark with countless useless things.
