There are two things you can always count on. Summer comes every year and Con Ed is never prepared for it.
Power outages during the recent heat wave prove that New Yorkers pay the highest rates for the worst service of any city in the continental U.S. Our pathetic power provider urges us to conserve energy by turning off appliances when you're not using them.
Here's another tip: Don't charge your cell phone during a heat wave. You'll save electricity and reduce noise pollution.
Sincerely,
