jails with electric doors

Oh, SHIT! Hey, I gotta go get some .45, 30-06 and 12 gauge. You guys just carry on. I'll be back in about an hour.

<<Think of people in hospitals, people on respirators, people in elevators, jails with electric doors - they won't let the power go down. >>

I would guess those places have back-up generators. A rolling blackout with prior notice would be easier to handle than a sudden outage. Accidental outages happen. I remember when a raccoon crawled into a major substation and wiped out the power to 1/4 of Bloomington. Wiped out the coon too.
