Ok, but doesn't extreme temps cause people to use more power? Maybe more than can be handled a small plant?When I lived in the sticks and was on the co-op, when we had a blizzard we had brown outs. Didn't hurt us, as we a generator, food, beer, ammo, gas and propane.The last time my power went out was in 08 when Ike hit....it was out for all of two hours.
I've lived in Houston,the most airconditioned city in the world,for 45 years and I dont recall ever having rolling brown outs.
That was due to inclement weather rather than to much power being used.
That's why I mentioned above " Brown outs" . Texas has those a lot , whether this is from that or not is hard to say right now. or when I posted it that is.
Again..I've lived in Texas for 45 years and never experienced a brown out.... not once.
Move to Amarillo, and you'll get to experience power outages and brown outs in the summertime. I know that the power goes out on my street at least once during the summertime, and sometimes two or three times during the summer.
Matter of fact, one of the reasons that I had to finally get a flat screen tv is because the 32 inch tube tv I had got killed during a power outage once.
