They don&#8217;t have anything to do with natural gas, and, as far as I know, they never have&#8230;.  That makes them liars right up-front!&#8230;.  Their excuse for the outage is that thieves broke into the sub-station and stole copper wiring causing the outage&#8230;..  The news footage I just watched of the sub-station shows that it is a bare station without any buildings of any kind&#8230;..  Nothing but a high barbed-wire fence around it with metal privacy panels&#8230;..  All the wires I saw were the <strong>HUGE<\/strong> ones on extremely high insulated poles&#8230;.  I don&#8217;t think there was an on-off switch at the gate and I think if you would even come close to any of them you would be immediately fried to a crisp&#8230;..

Why don&#8217;t they just admit that they are not maintaining their grids and sticking the money in their pockets&#8230;.  Just last week there was an <strong>OU<\/strong> professor on the news talking about the sad condition the power grids in <strong>Oklahoma<\/strong> are, and that the electric company (<strong>O.G.&#038; E.<\/strong>) should start spending some of those profits to bring it back up to a reasonable standard&#8230;..  Of course, the <strong>O.G.&#038; E.<\/strong> rep denied all of it and accused the professor of not being up-to-date on his research&#8230;..
