How conveeeenient. And reasonable. It's hot as fuck and a (ten) million muricans cranking up the AC on a friday evening is... Well, that's 'murica: prioritizing personal comfort above pretty much anything else.
If the convenience-fueled brownouts provide cover for MILOPs, so much the better. "Never let a crisis go to waste" (- rahm emmanuel, paraphrased) and soforth.

Hot days like today account for 1% of the run hours but 20% of the capacity requirements. In places like NYC, it makes the grid utilization efficiency very low, like 60% instead of 90%

If you live on the East Coast start charging your backup batteries and have the generators ready. This is NOT good! Places like NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Boston and similar could see POWER LOSS today because the Grid will be stretched to it's limit.
Most of all KEEP IN MIND that the Pavement Apes thrive and become VIOLENT in extreme heat as is the nature of their genetic make-up. Should the power go out you can BE SURE they will get it thru their 84-Point IQ minds to go and loot the stores as there will be NO POWER to operate security systems and similar. Places like the Liquor Store will be VERY HIGH on their list of places to go trash and loot, as will be street corners as they assault stuck traffic and similar. If you are on the East Coast you need to LOAD FOR BEAR today an be on guard. Keep safe and be vigilant. we may get a 'small taste' of what it's like in South Africa today in some cities if the power goes off and the Apes start to pour out into the street in 110F heat.

I'm so glad we've invested in renewable energy here in New ENgland since it doesn't work

If the power goes out in Chicago, the nigger population will see a dramatic decline

How can we make sure the power goes out in Chicago?

I guess that's why they call it a brownout

The nigger population will begin branching out to find what they can from the surrounding prepared suburbs.

Does this have to do with any info drops on pedophiles and other democrats?

Tangentially. Corruption in government leads to crumbling infrastructure and a population that can't be sustained. If our borders were closed and we only had Americans in America, and politicians that cared about keeping the country running, we'd be fine.

'An upcoming heat wave could lead to power outages in the central and eastern U.S., including the major metropolitan areas of New York City, Washington and Chicago, experts say. '
'A widespread blackout Saturday in New York City left much of Manhattan without electricity. ', "Christina Harper, a spokeswoman for Pepco, said the city's primary public utility company is preparing for power outages, although it is not necessarily expecting them."
'Con Edison said Tuesday that demand for power in Westchester County and New York City was 10,541 megawatts. '
'That is well below the highest demand for power in history, Drury said, which happened during a heat wave in July 2013. '
