Really, Super Bowl -- not enough power?

Who else's wings and nachos got cold during the 34-minute delay in this year's Super Bowl?
Apparently, the dazzling talent that is Beyoncé used too much power and overloaded the circuit breakers. Did you hear that? TOO MUCH POWER!? For America's biggest sporting event of the year? Was no one prepared for the amps, the lights, the hot dog venders, and the camera guys?
We shouldn't live in a world where power capacity is ever an issue, and soon we won't have to. As soon as NRGLab introduces the SH-box to the market and launches the age of affordable energy, things like power outages and power shortages will be distant memories. NFL teams will be able to power their stadiums for a fraction of current costs. Maybe then they'll start investing more in other elements of the game, like player safety, and concussion technology. That technology could save a life. That life could go on to do great things after the game. Change the game. Change the world.
Progress is achieved through ripples. One crazy idea. One good deed. One righteous voice. One shining vision of possibility. That's all it takes to cast a stone into the still waters of revolution.
Because ultimately, we live in the future we create. So maybe it's something as simple as a singer using too much power during a half-time performance to get people wondering; wondering why something like this still happens in a world where our cell phones can unlock our cars and houses. And why are my nachos getting cold?

  1. haha my pizza got cold! got the game ran so late because of that delay. I have a history of concussions from playing high school ball myself so I totally hear you on the need to develop new tech towards player safety.
