Will these big name mega companies look elsewhere for the ability to keep running no matter what the weather? Well, you kind of have to think they would.

Honestly, an hour doesn’t seem like a big deal, but that hour could have huge repurcussions for all those companies. How much it hurt – if it hurt at all – is debateable in the grand scheme of things.

Still, places like hospitals and such have backup generators just for this sort of event. If you’re such a huge company, why wouldn’t you have them, too?
