When the power went out at Nate Graham’s New Mexico home last year, his family huddled around a fireplace in the cold and dark. Even the gas furnace was out, with no electricity for the fan. After failing to coax enough heat from the wood-burning fireplace, Graham’s wife and two children decamped for the comfort of a relative’s house until electricity returned two days later.

The next time the power failed, Graham was prepared. He had a power strip and a $150 inverter, a device that converts direct current from batteries into the alternating current needed to run appliances, hooked up to his new Chevy Bolt, an electric vehicle. The Bolt’s battery powered his refrigerator, lights and other crucial devices with ease. As the rest of his neighborhood outside Albuquerque languished in darkness, Graham’s family life continued virtually unchanged. “It was a complete game changer making power outages a nonissue,” says Graham, 35, a manager at a software company. “It lasted a day-and-a-half, but it could have gone much longer.”

Oh my.  Is far right propaganda not selling well?  Will have to monitor Tucker's ratings...

More of a good example that the CEO just works for the Board of Directors. 

 

The timing is epic after his hit piece on Pfizer..

 

would hate to have any money invested in that company now?  cause that's probably going to backfire.

You think Pfizer precipitated his leave?  It's probably about money but I doubt Pfizer was a consideration.  Could be I guess..

According to all reporting it was due to him being mean or something.  a hostile environment.  

 

I was just stating the timing aspect that is also noticed by many.

House: No non-citizen voting in DC

February 10, 2023

 

The House of Representatives on Thursday voted to block two Washington, D.C., laws, including one allowing noncitizens to vote.

 

The Republican-led House, with support from dozens of Democrats, voted 260-162 to repeal a district law giving noncitizens the right to vote in city elections, The Washington Post reported.

 

The D.C. Council in October passed legislation allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections, arguing that all D.C. residents have a vested interest in schools, public safety, and other local issues.
