Five degrees in Lenoir City, TN, at 6 a.m. TVA is having rolling blackouts, so we are powerless for 15-minute intervals every once in a while. (Does it bother anybody that “THEY” can control your heat remotely? I guess they always could, but after Covid these things seem more sinister.)
I normally pay little attention to Facebook, but it is hysterical watching the FB page of the local electric company this morning...women are pitching a fit over trying to get their baking done today with these ongoing ‘blackouts’...only ONE poster fives credit where credit is due...the ‘green agenda’. We rode out 37 below in Vermont, and 52 below in New York without ‘rolling blackouts’...we had a cold spell like this in December a few years ago right here in East Tennessee...what changed?
We had/have a rolling blackout early this morning here in north Mississippi. And yes, it bothers me.
Greatly. And the cold. It gets close to 120 some days in aug / sep. With heat you can only take off so much. Scary that they have that power.
