Working for a utility I can guarantee that the party that damaged the facilities will be footing the bill for the repairs. They will be invoiced after the costs have been determined, their insurance will likely pay most of it - this kind of thing happens daily.

Math problem. We have a $4 billion shortfall. Even if we claw back $1 billion in tax credits and gas pipeline stuff, where does the other $3 billion come from. Do you honestly think we can cut that much? Especially without completely crashing our economy?

Rachael Stevenson, Your wish has already been granted and has been since 1983 when the portion of Alaska lying in the former Alaska Time Zone permanently advanced clocks one hour.

Chris, yes sorry that's what I meant. On DST the sun is higher above the horizon at the same time in the evening than it otherwise would be, which is what I like. Doesn't matter "as much" for a month or so either side of summer solstice but is becoming awfully nice to have that this time of year, as it is in the fall.
