not i. because it usually doesnt roll around to my area until dusk (which makes sense because they say the highest usage begins at 7pm) and by then ill be out of work and will be trying to watch the padres game. i think to be fair, they shouldnt blackout the area who's team is in 1st place. but that also means that they cant blackout the grid where chávez ravine is located or else they'd be blacking out padres vs. dodgers midgame.

No,

alot of elderly and sick people would be in bad shape if blackouts started to happen.

Only happens when transformers blow out. Hot days + hot nights = heavy loads on transformers.

no way, we've already had 3 or 4 power outages here at work within the past month.

Gov. Ahnold will return from the future where there are no rolling blackouts and bring power to the people!

Actually it is more like their hippy liberal mindset that power plants should not be built in their state to pollute the air or view......they expect other states to bear that burden and then ship the power to them at low prices so they can remain in comfort and without sacrifice.

It's 101 and I have all the fans in the house blowing away.

My dog wants to be taken to the pound. He hears there is air conditioning there.
