Blackouts, anyone?
 

So, yeah. I'm finally back on my computer. We've had 3 blackouts throughout today , the longest being 2 hours, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM. I have a feeling its only going to continue.

Anyone else have any? Or thoughts on an apparent energy problem once again?

I a surprised we haven't had any yet. We have been averaging 107 for the last week.

Phoenix had two record setting power usage days this past week, but no blackouts.

We need more nuclear power stations. It's the only way we'll ever keep up. Haven't built a new one in over 25 years. France gets 74% of their electricty from nuclear power - we get only around 20%.

no, bit a couple of times last week we had some brown outs. The power dips and the ligths dim, but the computer tayed on...LOL...then it all goes back to normal. We're doing our part. We just put our air on the last few days and it's on hold 86 degrees...it's 109 outside....
