I would like to 'age in place' in my current residence but have been thinking for a while that it will not be possible unless my neighborhood's power becomes reliable. I do not see myself dealing with power outages in the coming years. I think it's interesting that as a society we have laws in place against discrimination from a number of different points (ethnicity, age, gender, etc) but fail to realize that what the laws prohibit can be effectively accomplished by a uncaring corporate giant like BGE's systematic underperforming and underserving of communities in Howard County.
