People used to live in the South without air conditioning. Though not as many!
The migrants increase power demands. Ditto EV vehicles.
Not sure how energy efficient it is turning off/turning down air conditioning at night. Where I worked, they turned it down on weekends.
I don’t get it. Tens of millions of people in the state have transitioned to far more efficient energy-using appliances and lighting. LED’s are supposed to use a small fraction of what the old incandescents used, and produce far less heat.
How are we using much less energy through efficiency but still running short of power?
