Rolling Blackouts – are we close?
August 2, 2011 by Citizen Carol
ERCOT announced a yellow alert at 3:15 today when they smashed through the state electric use record by over 2,000 MW. With only 1800 MW of reserve available around 4:30, we are periously close to triggering rolling blackouts.
With no end in sight for this excessive heat wave, it is imperative that Texans severely curtail their electric use.
