Title: Rolling Blackouts
Post by: patric on April 17, 2006, 07:02:44 PM
Were' off to an early start this year...

"TXU Electric Delivery said that it was reducing its load by 380 megawatts — one megawatt can power about 210 homes — with rotating outages every 15 minutes. At 4:30 p.m. about 28,000 homes in Dallas and in East Texas were the first to be without power."

It's a good thing Tulsa has an Energy Policy (//%22http://www.cityoftulsa.org/ourcity/ordinances/Title12.asp#CHAPTER1%22) calling for us to reduce the City's energy consumption 3-5% per year, so we'll be just fine, right?
