May be time to move elsewhere…. some place they can at least keep the lights on…


Has anyone thought about overweight people requiring more air conditioning? This demand may evolve into a dangerous strain on the power grid. Notice that the Craigslist housing searches are primarily in the coastal communities.


Or charging all electric houses more since they require more???????????
