The power plant administration is failing to respond to the threat. Why? Are they trying? Are the power companies above them failing to provide money and resources? What exactly is the holdup to an adequate response. Normally the “system” should fix itself. This lack of a normal response is happening all over society these days. It’s a threat- not only in this instance, but in our country at large.

Think anexcellent form of security is letting the public know about the deadly electrocutions that have occured elsewhere when others tried to commit vandalism.
The guy in the video looks a bit dim, and lucky...

Hey kiro I got a story, you can report on how come Pierce County doesn't have DIY septic tank inspections so it don't cost disadvantage, disabled and low income people $400 to $700 every 3 years to get their septic tank inspected why don't you investigate Something that can help a lot of people in Pierce County The second largest county in Washington. Eight other Counties have it to where they can inspect their own septics for free, why can't Pierce County have it. WHY DON'T YOU INVESTIGATE THAT?
