I worked in the tech sector up there (about 40 miles out of town) and we constantly experienced rolling blackouts in the summer.

Ever try to run a computer company without power?

Okay, everybody go home.

At that time we in the Eastern High Plains area were producing so much power that we had to open electrical outlets and let the power flow out on the ground to keep from overwhelming our system! ;-D

Those were hot years and the AC was constantly on keeping us cool as hogs on ice.

They shut down some Texas power plants too, I hope we don’t experience blackouts
