Power outages throughout US and in the Central Valley (CA, 110 degrees or so).
They've lasted just a few hours, so far. Governator requested certain energy
cutbacks (don't use major appliances until 7 pm, one lightbulb per room--only
in the room you're in, etc.) and both the large buildings and individual
citizens seem to be complying.
In CA, we have a system of "rolling blackouts." Works fairly well, when it's
needed. Enron and Halliburton robbed the state, a few years back, pretending we
needed those blackouts when there was actually plenty of available energy in
our region. But that's something else.
Sympathies to all on this planet. Cool water is wonderful, isn't it?

You should put all your power lines underground!

Half a million people w/out power in triple digit degrees. Officials say
it may take up to 5 days to get the power back up and running.
Ain't the world grand?
