Tovia Smith reports that we’re not doing well in recovering from last weekend’s weather. What should be a minor event – with solar, wind, batteries, and even petroleum-based generators all at the ready – is a warning of deficiencies in planning and preparedness.

Residents of the northeast are still coping with a weekend storm that was more trick than treat. Schools are closed and utility crews are working overtime to restore power in several states. More than 3 million people were without power immediately after the storm.
