@lavallee_terry @JennMcWhirter @NLESDCA @pasadenaelem @nlta_mssic @NLHydro Not exactly the same, but have you seen the Turing Tumble? Wicked cool "toy" that tests logic, problem solving and basic coding--your circut work reminded me of how awesome hands-on learning is!
Love it!

@GregAsh11 @NLHydro Or why we don't have backup generation from Muskrat Falls?
We're supposed to have two lines to Churchill, and be interconnected with MF as well.
Where is the issue?

@BerniceCBC @guy_gnp Just got Rod****ton back after a Go Again,... and our phones don't work when it's off Now, the @NLHydro.
Like 911 goes down even...
No Internet even...
No Contact for Nothing.
It's something I don't understand.
No Hydro = No Cell Coverage +.
Why's this Happening?
For Hours!

@EVsIRL @drbrake @davidrbrake @TRobertst @NLHydro @SarahSmellie @SynapseEnergy @philippedunsky My car battery providing power to my neighbour's heating system doesn't solve the problem of everyone's heating system calling for heat at the same time. Again, battery powered heating (and cooling) is a dead end.

@chrispytwist @Terry_Hussey EV's are negligible. Peak loading is the issue, not total load. If everyone turned everything on at once the grid would fail in any location. An EV is about 10% of a house.
Charge EV's off peak demand. If required, use smart chargers. @DriveElectricNL @NFPower @NLHydro.

@MeaneyJim @CarolynRParsons @KathleenBurt55 @getmysa @joshuagreen551 @NLHydro And we need a basic liveable wage for all, the ability for eve to one to pull out of poverty and effective mental health. Yes, local jobs are great, but that doesn’t fix most of the issues that go along with increased energy prices.

Update from @NLHydro
They have an outage to all customers on the quartzite sub station. They are trying to determine now how many customers that is.
There was a pole fire and reports of a line on the ground. People should avoid the area. Crews are dispatched.

Checking the @NLHydro and @NFPower outage maps this morning, it seems as if there are 3 known power outages. One near Terranceville and the 2 others on the Connaigre Peninsula. This is likely in the corridor of heavy ice accretion from freezing rain. #nlwx https://t.co/TieEkGrXwi

Nearly 42 hours since the outage began in Upper Lake Melville, power returned at my house for about an hour but is gone again. @NLHydro is saying we can expect to see power at 9:30AST, but earlier that time was 7:00 and they ran into an issue.
