Here in Spring Texas, I’m seeing rolling blackouts since Tuesday pm. Few hours on. Few hours off. Having a gas fire and stove is killing it for us. I’m planning on switching one of our water heaters to gas so we can be covered for hot water in power outages.
- other_herbert 6y agoI’ve gone tankless and have a gas tankless water heater on a battery backup and I can also power it from a generator if needed... so from the battery I get around 90 mins of usage... highly recommended
- macintux 6y agoIt sounds like you're one of the relatively lucky ones. From what I've heard "rolling" blackouts are a misnomer for large swathes of the state, unless by "rolling" you mean "the blackout rolled in and never rolled out". Good luck. I'd be glad to suffer short blackouts here if the grid were interconnected so we could share power with your state.
- jounker 6y agoYeah, rolling blackout seems to mean more than 24 hours for my friends and relative back there.
