Let me get this straight:
1.) So - if it gets down to 30 degrees in Houston, and if Dallas gets snow, the entire Houston area (including Galveston, 50+ miles to the southeast) has rolling blackouts because the grid can't handle everyone turning up their heaters? (Same for Chicago when it gets super-hot in the summer.) What year is this? 2011?
2.) Now that Uhmerkah, Jeebus's Favorite Country, the Most Exceptional Land of the Free (Refill) has "spoken" by "electing" John Boehner to be King (or something), our top priorities are re-defining rape in favor of the rapists and undoing the pathetic excuse for health care "reform" that Ronald Reagan's new BFF rammed down the throats of 1000% self-sufficient, totally-private-pay-for-health-care Teabaggers last year??
Just checking.

The Engineer is a power engineer and has worked in hydro-electric and nuclear power. Sometimes the temps are just too cold for the machinery of gas fired and coal fired plants to work. They weren't designed for these kinds of prolonged temperatures. He said some plants were off line for fix-ups and that contributed to the problem.
The issues is that 2 different power generating stations had to shut down because pipes burst. You would think that on something as important as a power plant, the would bother to insulate the pipes!
