One year ago today, Superstorm Sandy left part of Manhattan completely in the dark and without cell coverage.
One coffee shop owner, just opening a new shop, drew many new customers because he had a generator.
Jamie Rogers, owner of Pushcart Coffee speaks with Here & Now‘s Jeremy Hobson about those days without power and how his generator idea has paid off.
Also joining in the conversation is Frank Felder, director of the Center For Energy, Economic & Environmental Policy at Rutgers University, to look at how the city’s electrical infrastructure suffered.
