00:00Mayor, what reassurances have you been given and how much confidence do you have that the
00:06city's power grid will hold up this week with no disruptions?
00:10Over and over again, we have witnessed how well Con Edison has responded to these extreme
00:18weather patterns and they're well, you know, just well trained for this moment and they
00:25don't start when we have a heat advisory, but they're prepared for this all the time.
00:31I visited a couple of their plants and sites.
00:34We should be really pleased on how well our infrastructure responds to these weather emergencies.
00:40And you know, things happen when you're dealing with an overuse and overconsumption of power,
00:46they immediately respond to coordination.
00:48That's why the entire team is here, because it's a team effort.
00:50It's not only on one entity, the entire team must respond accordingly.
00:54And I have a lot of confidence in Con Edison and how we respond after.
