Thanks guys!! Too bad JCPL isn't as aggressive in getting the job done...they just ignored the barrier island while concentrating on the mainland...but that has been fixed for over a week and they still haven't set a target date for when power will be restored...

JCP&L could learn a few things from NJNG. Keep up the great work!

Mainland hasn't really been fixed by JCP&L. Years of lack of maintenance on antiquated power system... according to out-of-state linemen & supervisors who put Band-Aids on it. It will take years for JCP&L's system to become just good enough to keep the lights on during a drizzle!

Wonder if it cost NJNG 1 million a mile to replace their gas line as thats what JCPL projects it would cost to go underground?. Beside that, ever hear of a car veer off the road and crash into a underground gas line?.

Wayne Scott November 25, 2012 at 01:33 pm

Laci, you are correct that a car could not crash into an underground gas line. As you can see even an underground gas line is not impervious to damage. Whether the electrical system is above or below ground it will still be subject to damage. You will just be swapping out one set of problems for another. Where will all of those transformers go that you see on the poles, on the ground (subject to cars veering off of the road) or under the ground (subject to flooding)?

i don't get it?? November 25, 2012 at 03:03 pm

I'm impressed!! Great job NJNG!! ...and about the crashing into above ground poles, that's an entirely different discussion...

Chinese parents send their children http://www.coachoutletonlinebd.com/ Coach Outlet Online to private U.S. high schools as a strategic decision to strengthen their candidacy for elite U.S. universities, http://www.guccibeltsoutletstores.net/ Gucci Belt Lin said. A growing number also want their children to lead happier lives rather than have them consumed by http://www.coachoutletonlinewo.com/ Coach Factory Outlet preparing for the gaokao in China the one-time, high-stakes national university entrance examination that http://www.guccibeltsoutletstores.net/ Gucci Belts is the sole determinant of admission.The factors driving mainland Chinese to study in the United States come into http://www.coachfactoryoutletpo.com/ Coach Factory Outlet play much earlier, Lin said, noting an influx of foreign Chinese students into private U.S. secondary http://www.coachoutletonlinefc.org/ Coach Outlet Online schools, starting around 2005.The goal of education in mainland China is to prepare you to take the gaokao. http://www.coachoutletwr.com/ Coach Online Outlet Everything else is secondary. In China, you would put the gaokao in the center.whereas...in American education, http://www.coachoutletloa.com/ Coach Factory Online you put the student in the center, and everything else serves the best interests of the student. It's not http://www.coachoutletonlineyu.net/ Coach Outlet Online exclusively about college.

It's not NJ Natural gas replacing the main, it's outside contractors from NJ, maybe that is what JCP&L should consider doing.

to go underground, all new equipment needs to be purchased, all new trenches need to be dug for wire. also, keep in mind, an underground system on the barrier island would be much less reliable than on the mainland, do to the salt water in the ground speeds up corrosion immensely, so outages would occur more often as underground vaults get flooded, and equipment gets damaged from being underwater, instead of just being rained on.

That's going to be expensive.

The corpse is apparently well http://www.coachoutletonlinegg.com preserved: a young woman, lying face down, http://www.coachoutletonlineaol.net shielding her face with her hands at the moment http://www.coachfactoryoutletwy.com of death. Her dress has risen up http://www.coachoutletstorefc.com and is tangled around her waist, her bare http://www.coachoutletaol.org legs exposed beneath.She is currently on display at http://www.coachfactoryoutetmp.com the J Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, as the first http://www.coachoutletns.com exhibit in a show that explores the ways that http://www.coachoutletstoreonlineys.net modern artists - from Francesco Piranesi http://www.coachfactoryonlineest.net to Anthony Gormley - have responded http://www.coachfactoryoutletpst.com to history's most famous volcanic eruption. "Welcome to http://www.coachoutletonlinetc.com Pompeii," she is meant to say. "The city of the dead".
