Eh, for the first time I got an alert message on my cell phone asking people to reduce their electricity usage during a blizzard here in rural Minnesota.
If everyone is suddenly using electric heat when it’s -20 in an area there might be load issues.
- mirrorlake 4y agoThe number of electric devices added to the grid is likely a predictable percent increase every day/month/year, and likewise, the acceleration of that change is probably somewhat predictable, too. This is not to say we shouldn't be concerned, but denying yourself the most energy efficient technologies available (EVs, heat pumps, etc) because you're afraid of power outages 5-10 years from now seems like overkill.
