As published by USA Today, a “Fierce Hurricane Season” is being predicted.
The article written by Doyle Rice reiterates earlier reports that the 2010 Hurricane Season is expected to be above normal activity.

On October 27, 2009 President Obama annouced a “$3.4 billion investment to spur transition to a Smart Energy Grid”. I’m sure this announcement was wonderful news for those who live in areas prone to power outages. I myself thought great, now I’m out of work selling generators then I read the article further. “The implementation of smart grid technologies could reduce electricity use by more than 4 percent by 2030″. Huh? 2030, that seems like a lifetime away from 2009. What is going to be involved in the transition period from the current electrical grid to the new smart energy grid? I am applauding the White House for moving toward postive action to update our system however, after considering the effort and time it will take to change over, I decided that the business of selling generators is probably not in jeopardy. Providing a backup system for your home or office still makes sense just to have the added knowledge that your property, family, and business are protected.
