"I told you to change utilities companies!" snapped Annette, as Ivan rolled up the next evening in an old pickup truck packed with water bottles, kerosene jerrycans, six kerosene lanterns, and a kerosene stove.
"And I told you that Sirius Energy is the only sheriff in town. Everyone in the area are dependent on their smart grid," said Ivan, in a long-suffering tone, as he unloaded the supplies with the help of a good-natured delivery man.

"I don't see how that's funny," said Annette, her eyes narrowed.
"Ain't it though? Them Sirius boys got the whole green energy lobby runnin' scared, and all them guys who said solar ain't the future are laughin' and sayin' we told you so," replied the man, as he and Ivan unloaded the last of the supplies.
