WTF ... is anybody experiencing this yet ? Coldest weather we have had in a while and our electric grid can’t keep up. And they shut down all the coal burning plants in the state .

Worse than that, I have a power line pole laying across a major side street and have heard two transformer blow in the last couple hours. I still have power, but I expect I might not soon.

It was Pete Delkus that said there was rolling blackouts on the tv . Then he came back and said there was no rolling blackouts at this time .
