April 18, 200620 yr How cute. Rolling blackouts hit the state of Texas because the electricity demand is too high for the early onset of 100+ degrees. Now I know it's not Laredo where it was 106 yesterday, but it was 102 here in D/FW. I guess the power plants are down for maintenance and the demand exceeded the supply, so they had to do rolling blackouts to keep the grid from collapsing. I don't want to live in CALIFORNIA! And right now, according to my little weatherbug, it's 101 out again.
