Oh hell yes, I know it is. I moved from the UK 20 years ago. In thirty-odd years of living in the UK prior to that, I had a power cut precisely once - in the great storm of 1987 [1].

I’m leaving the US and going back to the UK in a few months - just waiting until the end of the school year for the kid’s sake. I don’t like what the USA has become, and I can retire nicely now, so it seems like a good time. I’m looking forward to not needing power-walls in the future, as well as 4 actual seasons :)

[editing this post because apparently I can't edit my previous one, and it's been "flagged". I assume this is because I'm saying some not-nice things about Mr. Musk and someone got their knickers in a twist over it because the comment about generators seems fairly innocuous. Snowflakes. Maybe he wouldn't be called out (worldwide) as a nazi if he didn't do nazi salutes in public...]
