She’s willing to answer questions! Amazing opportunity for us all to learn more.

      I hope people do realize that it is NOT romantic to have your food go bad, not to be able to study late before an exam, and not to be able to wash a load of laundry. Electricity has become for most people a basic need, and to deny it to 1.5 million people is criminal, in my opinion.
