Rob PowelsonGUEST
You're in New York.
Rob PowelsonGUEST
Con Edison is probably your electric company or might be PSE&G up there.
Rob PowelsonGUEST
Bottom line is the electric and gas grid in our country, it's the complete opposite.
Rob PowelsonGUEST
It's an investor-owned private model where the water structure, ownership structure is completely different.
EsteHOST
you guys have, oh, that's what, this is, again, I don't know why we're talking about New York.
EsteHOST
Is Con Edison a still thing? Yes.
EsteHOST
That's what gives me like 80 vibes.
LauraHOST
It's like still thing.
Brandon JulianHOST
No, apparently you're financing Warner Brothers Discovery.
Brandon JulianHOST
And if you're in New York, Con Edison sends you that bill and suddenly your marriage becomes a hostage negotiation.
Brandon JulianHOST
You open the envelope, you look at your spouse, back at the envelope.
Brandon JulianHOST
So, which one of us has secretly been operating a steel mill in the bedroom? Because there ain't no damn way.
Brandon JulianHOST
There were stretches, remember, where the heat was genuinely dangerous.
Brandon JulianHOST
Remember that early heat wave in July when it was straining the electrical system? Con Ed, 17,000 customers were without power at one point.
Brandon JulianHOST
They were asking people in the city, Westchester, to conserve electricity.
Brandon JulianHOST
That is the nightmare scenario.
Michele WangHOST
Because we like had we ended that lease.
Michele WangHOST
We ended the cable, the Con Ed.
Michele WangHOST
Right.
Michele WangHOST
Oh, right.
Fidel CaballeroGUEST
Oh, my God.
Cathy ErwayHOST
Con Ed.
Fidel CaballeroGUEST
Is it? Yeah.
Fidel CaballeroGUEST
Con Ed.
Fidel CaballeroGUEST
There you go.
Fidel CaballeroGUEST
Well, at least, you know, that's good.
Mark CullenHOST
And of course, that will affect neighboring regions as well, since gasoline supplies one place tend to ripple throughout the neighboring areas.
Mark CullenHOST
The story goes that the Sunday setback was linked to a power company, Con Ed, which provides primary and secondary lines supplying electricity to the refinery.
Mark CullenHOST
Power was fully restored on Thursday when another setback, aw shucks, occurred and flood water took out a pump.
Mark CullenHOST
It's almost like piling on at this point.
Seth HolehouseHOST
Because at the same time, you've got Exxon saying, which I'll pull this up for you, that Exxon just shut down a major Illinois refinery.
Seth HolehouseHOST
So amidst all this insanity happening, there just so happened to be a, I think it was a Con Ed power outage.
Seth HolehouseHOST
And so on September 13th, Exxon Mobil's massive Joliet refinery outside Chicago was Suddenly lost power and the entire facility was shut down, as you can see in this article here.
Seth HolehouseHOST
And so the outage triggered the refinery's safety flares, which people saw smoke and flames around the area.
Matt RodbardHOST
Wow.
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
And a company came in in partnership with Con Ed and DOT and other city agencies, and they connected a vendor to the grid, and it was the cleanest thing we've ever seen.
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
It's, like, a little pole coming out.
Matt RodbardHOST
Yeah.
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
Everyone is happy.
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
But then in a year or so, they closed the pilot, and they said, "This pilot is not scalable.
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
It's not great." And then we ask Con Edison, "Hey, Con Edison, what's going on? Why this pilot was a failure?" They said...
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
Look at how funny the excuses are.
JonathanGUEST
Hey, my electricity's off.
JonathanGUEST
Come to find out they didn't know they had to set up Con Edison.
JonathanGUEST
Right.
Jared GilbertHOST
