LindaJ+ Posted May 25, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Like ... do the pubs operate in the dark? ... or what's happening since they lost their hydroelectric dam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytime53 Posted May 25, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2008 They pay a lot more for electricity, but they have electricity. It is (I think) diesel powered. As you can see from the link, they didn't lose a dam...they lost the transmission lines. http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/041708/loc_269314122.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFHgirl Posted May 25, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2008 We noticed reduced lighting in some shops and restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemac Posted May 25, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Some stores have less lights on, but we've been lucky to have sunny skies the past few days...those cruising up here this weekend are really lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleCruiselover Posted May 25, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Some stores have less lights on, but we've been lucky to have sunny skies the past few days...those cruising up here this weekend are really lucky! Hopefully it will be better by the time we get up there in September, since it will be getting dark earlier again by then. BTW, Ace.....GO HAWKS!

Acemac Posted May 26, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2008 They actually are thinking we should have our hydro power back in June...if things aren't back to normal by Sept...well then us locals are going to be broke.

davis0056 Posted May 26, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2008 We just got back from our 4th cruise to Alaska. If we wouldn't have heard about the power problems we wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. Dave and Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
