It's taken a blackout proverb

 It's taken a blackout to wake everybody up, ... We've been warning for years. ... I went around the country saying these blackouts are going to happen.

 You were blackout drunk the night before if you wake up and have no idea where you are and why.

 If you drink enough to blackout then you probably regret it when you wake up because more than likely you looked liked an idiot or did something dumb.

 Obviously the 2003 blackout was a wake-up call to everyone. August 2003 certainly accentuated the need to reinforce the system.

 The blackout of 2003 absolutely turned up the heat and put a spotlight on an industry from top to bottom that didn't get much attention in the previous decade. We are doing things today, and creating legislation that addresses detail we would never have looked at if that blackout had not happened.

 Federal elections happen every two years in this country. Presidential elections every four years. And four years just isn't long enough to dismantle all the environmental laws we've got in this country.

 The blackouts in America will remain alive and possible because we will have thrown out the window the reliability standards that are in this bill because some want to make the case on an issue like MTBE or the like, ... If you like blackouts, then you vote to kill this bill.

 A lot of students that have a blackout for the first time learn from it and stop drinking so much. It is a scary thing to have happen.

 I think we've been warning from the beginning that this could happen. What is clear is that Vermonters don't want anyone to buy their way into a U.S. Senate seat, ... Bernie obviously is not a multi-millionaire, so he's actively raising money from middle-income people in Vermont and across the country.

 That certainly was not our original intent, to say, 'Let's play chicken,' when all along, we were going to yank the blackout. We were serious enough about selling enough tickets that we attached a number to it. We didn't reach that number, but we got enough movement, combined with continuing this conversation about business involvement, that we felt we'd accomplished enough to raise the blackout.

 [The upgrades that would make the system usable for early warning are long overdue, seismologists say.] It's frankly appalling to me, ... how far behind this country is in developing early-warning systems.

 So are we lost or do we know
Which direction we should go
Sit around and wait for someone to take our hands and lead the way

Cause every day we're getting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for our answers

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Are we meant to take the pain
Should we sit around and wait
Are we being saved
Or was I another lie you made to make us hate

Cause every day we're getting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for our answers

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
And we will never lose
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
it's time to make a move
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
And we will never lose
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
it's time to make a... move!

It's not enough
To let it run
Where's the truth
It's all wrong

We're sick of waiting for our answers...

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so tired of waiting, waiting for us to
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up,
Yeah I'm so sick of waiting, for us to make a move

Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
It's time to make a move
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And we will never lose
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Make a move (move, move, move, move).

 It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in. We didn't come up there with any bombs. We were trying to wake the country up and wake the world up too.

 They wanted it more, I guess. Maybe it's a good thing that happened to us. Maybe it will wake us up and give us a warning.
