    That’s only good enough to give the machines time to come to a safe halted state. For however long it takes to repair the chillers, that facility is a credit on the accounting ledger.

        Accounting language is different.

        A debit is incoming while credit is an increase of liability.

        Think of the big picture of a credit card. The card backer (bank/credit union) is paying the vendor cash equivalent while crediting you with debt.
