Just to point out the obvious, LIPA doesn't provide power to the entire 118 miles of Long Island (unless the 118 is only Nassau/Suffolk) since Queens and Brooklyn are located on geographic LI, too.
When we say Long Island, we mean Nassau and Suffolk counties.
Just to point out the obvious, the LPC doesn't seem to do much for the western end, either.
