I seem to recall threats of rolling blackouts during very hot days when I lived in NC back as a kid some 30 years ago. The big problem is a lack of investment in infrastructure. But around here they are more than happy to build data centers that just drink up the electrons. Some winters I`ve noticed decreased gas pressure in our neighborhood, the flames on the fireplace would dip down. Not sure if it was just my house or the neighborhood.

The gas companies employ a method known as BTU shaving or peak shaving during periods of high demand.

Its funny to get spun up by the weather guy, but the numbers don`t lie... I was looking at the historical data at NWS... wow have there been some cold days in the DC area in the mid 80s.
