On the real estate show last weekend they said San Antonio added over 100,000 new homes built last year. Now imagine each house has a 200 Amp box lol..
That's not counting ANY of the new retail footage. Which I bet is in the millions of square feet.
Unfrickinbelievable. On the news just now they said that a quarter of the energy producing plants are down for maintenance right now because it's typically not hot this time of year.
It's almost ing May. In Texas.
How stupid can you be?

Despite all the publicity, anyone notice how they didn't ask anyone to conserve energy? Don't you think turning off unneccessary lights and appliances until nightfall, at least, was called for?
Um, yeah, I don't know what they're saying in SA, but up here in Dallas the top of the news was about the blackouts, how there would probably be more in the coming days if it remained hot, and to conserve energy as much as possible between the hours of 2 PM and 7 PM by turning off unnecessary appliances/electronics and bumping up the AC to 78 degrees.Despite all the publicity, anyone notice how they didn't ask anyone to conserve energy?

Every announcement I heard (many) about the blackouts yesterday were accompanied by a plea to conserve as much as possible.
I do not appreciate the leaking of this information.
