Rolling Brown-outs A Bunch Of Brown Stuff

"Rolling blackouts that plagued much of the State of Texas have ended as of Wednesday afternoon, though they could resume later, all due to a massive strain on a statewide power grid."

"Early Wednesday morning, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas ordered all power providers to shed a portion of their power loads.However, by around 1:15 p.m., power providers were notified by ERCOT that the outages could end for the time being. However, outages could resume Wednesday night and Thursday if necessary." http://www.kbtx.com/news/headlines/115093514.htm

It seems to Me that localized overloading of densely populated urban areas would not require shutting power off statewide. The brown-outs began well after 9 AM. I would think power demands would be greatest during the early hours when most are preparing for work.

Brown-outs  during summer 100 degree plus days have never been statewide. Heating elements use a lot of juice. The brown-outs have ended until tommorrow morning it has been announced but the coldest temperatures are in the wee hours of the morning ,say 3 or 4 AM but todays outages began after 9 AM.

In our county of less than 100,000 its hard to imagine a shortage or our tiny contribution solving the urban problems. I just dont understand that overloads mysteriously stopped for 20 hours when the temperature has remained constant,freekin COLD.

Many accidents occured as signal lights went black. If this can be proven to be a fabricated incident somebody needs to get sued. Rolling black-outs,turd-stuffings !
