NTD: A number of U.S. utility companies called on customers to conserve electricity due to frigid weather on Saturday and Sunday.
Con Edison, which serves the New York City metropolitan area, asked its 1.1 million natural gas, 3.5 million electric, and other customers in New York City to conserve power. Temperatures in the Big Apple plunged to about 15 degrees F overnight on Saturday and Sunday morning.
“Conserving energy as much as possible now will help ensure adequate natural gas supplies for the rest of the weekend,” Con Edison said late on Saturday. “Owners of natural gas pipelines have reported that equipment problems caused by the cold weather and the heavy demand for natural gas are challenging their ability to provide adequate amounts of gas throughout the Northeast,” the utility company added.
Another, ISO New England, warned Saturday that it has “insufficient reserve supplies” and called on its members to “voluntarily curtail power” due to strain on the power grid, reported Bloomberg. MORE
Well, we have about 6 million new “citizens” we have to keep warm this winter, so suck it up New York; you voted for this.
Actually Tony R, thousands packed up and moved back East from California. My friends moved to TN, Misery (Missouri), GA, OK, TX. DH sister lives in Buffalo – ground zero. I hope they’re all enjoying their snow, tornadoes, blizzards, no power, and shoveling $hit against the tide, and politics change every 4 years. No one gets off this planet without some kind of pain. /just saying
Any bets that the ski resorts aren’t cutting back,making snow and running lifts, on energy use??
Time to force solar, wind, and EV advocates to survive on their fantasy energy scams. That way, when the sun, snow, and storms do what they do, there’ll enough energy for those of us who realize the green energy movement is a total fraud.
Can’t starve them all, may as well freeze a few.
We have a huge ethanol plant 10 miles away, we can tell by the lights at night that they haven’t cut any power usage.
I just read in an article that some people froze in their cars in Buffalo.
MJA: I read that article. It also said that “3 dead people were found shoveling snow”. Not sure how that could be. Ghosts?
Yes MJA, and most of them froze in Tesla’s!
Santa’s sleigh reportedly crashed in Buffalo when its turboencabulator got choked with snow at 20 below. The wreckage and presents were reportedly spread out for miles. More at eleven.
Freeze for Gaia.

Thousands left without power after four Pierce County substations attacked
Utility companies and law enforcement are investigating the incidents.
Rolling blackouts are the refuge of idiot masterminds for their failure to provide enough electricity.
“…substations attacked….”
What might they have planned for planting season? Salting the fields? Contaminating seeds? Poisoning livestock?
