Whatever it is, it’s affected TVA too. We had rolling blackouts during the freeze when we never had that before. During heavy ice storms yes, but just cold, never.

Whatever it is, it’s systematic.

Yes, you’re right. This was the first time we ever had rolling blackouts with TVA.

Really it seems that after California, Texas (last year), Tennessee and North Carolina (this year) a pattern is emerging that suggests rolling blackouts are intentional.

Perhaps it’s to get us used to the idea of sometimes not having electricity. You could say use a natural gas furnace or fireplace, but those are also being phased out in some places.

You will own nothing and be happy and cold.

Duke and others in Indiana put out conservation requests. Supposedly we did so well we avoided rolling blackouts. IT’S INDIANA FOR CRYIN’OUT LOUD. ITS GOING TO GET COLD! As it is also going to get hot in summer. Both of which it’s done since your company and any predecessor companies existed. What is going on here?

“Systematic” — yes. As I wrote, we are short good power engineers and operators because the radical greens have hated on the power industry for decades. People no longer go into the power business for the same reason they won’t go into the military.

The effect is hidden in the power business, but it is out in the open for the military.

Expect more rolling blackouts; it is symptomatic of a weather ilprepared utility company that lacks a "plan B", which is already over-stretched
Do you know how they plan to overcome the issue ?
They will issue you a remote controlled meter, so that they can turn your power off, by remote.
You no longer control the power in your home ; - they do !
