New NSA data center experiencing electrical failures

[Common Sense Party]

Electrical failures occurred during testing at the National Security Agency's massive data storage center in Bluffdale, an NSA spokeswoman confirmed Monday...

Citing project documents and current and former NSA officials, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday that 10 meltdowns have occurred in the past 13 months, destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and delaying the center's opening.

The arc fault failures include backup generators, and government officials and contractors are divided over the cause of the meltdowns and the whether the storage center's electrical system is sufficient for the center's operations, according to the Wall Street Journal report.

The NSA data center in Utah is located near Point of the Mountain and has been the focus of national scrutiny and criticism. It is believed to be the final destination for huge amounts of data about private citizens collected by the tight-lipped agency.

So, if they can't get the lights to come on, they can't store our data there, so we have nothing to worry about.
