    I see no reason that we need to be subject to such fluctuation in available
    power for something so simple as air-conditioning. I certainly see no good
    technical reason we should have to stop our activities periodically for
    brown-outs much less black-outs. Such lack of dependable power is a
    serious fault in our infrastructure and must be remedied.
