I would believe it, no problem, but I would need evidence—and we haven’t seen any sources or any logic to support the “rolling blackout” claim.
In fact, the folks pushing the claim do not seem to understand the metrics of the disease, the way Italy has handled it under high stress, or the tools .gov has to deal with that type of situation.
If someone briefed the WH with that lack of preparation, they would be quickly escorted off the premises.

...it just seems to me that less seriously a country takes this virus, the harder they’ll be hit. We’re just now, maybe, starting to end travel from Europe. We kept travel from Asia going forever. We didn’t test people who almost certainly had it. We haven’t done jack (that I know of) to get moving on going to emergency measures to get some domestic production of critical items going. And we seem to think that the cutoff in Chinese exports to the US...somehow won’t affect the US.
So maybe we’ll continue to produce power without interruption - certainly the demand will continue to drop as we shut down, and that will help. But I wouldn’t bank on it being enough.
...and, for what it’s worth, I’ve got a bunch of batteries and 3 chest freezers, so I can take interruptions without skipping a beat - whether or not they happen.
the people pushing it have no clue about the background failsafes in place.
