HILADELPHIA (CBS) -- PJM Interconnection, the electricity grid operator that oversees 13 states - including Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware - is asking residents to conserve electricity as brutally cold temperatures reduced energy output or shut down some power plants. At the same time, there is an increased demand for power on this Christmas holiday weekend.

1 Sept 2022: CNBC: Amazon took all U.S. solar rooftops offline last year after flurry of fires, electrical explosions
by Annie Palmer & Lara Kolodny
Between April 2020 and June 2021, solar panels atop Amazon fulfillment centers caught fire or experienced electrical explosions at least six different times...
On the afternoon of April 14, 2020, dozens of firefighters arrived at an Amazon warehouse in Fresno, California, as thick plumes of smoke poured from the roof of the 880,000-square-foot warehouse.
Some 220 solar panels and other equipment at the facility, known as FAT1, were damaged by the three-alarm fire, which was caused by “an undetermined electrical event within the solar system mounted on top of the roof,” Leland Wilding, Fresno’s fire investigator, wrote in an incident report.
A little over a year later, about 60 firefighters were called to an even larger Amazon facility in Perryville, Maryland, to put out a two-alarm blaze, local news outlets reported...
In the intervening months, at least four other Amazon fulfillment centers caught fire or experienced electrical explosions due to failures with their solar energy-generating systems, according to internal company documents viewed by CNBC.
The documents, which have never been made public, indicate that between April 2020 and June 2021, Amazon experienced “critical fire or arc flash events” in at least six of its 47 North American sites with solar installations, affecting 12.7% of such facilities. Arc flashes are a kind of electrical explosion...

If the power went out in all those states and people froze they would still vote democrat. So, who cares?
Now imagine this scenario with most cars being electric.
Suddenly endless articles calling for energy conservation… just a few weeks ago it’s bans on non electric cars.
We had rolling blackouts in Tennessee this week.
A red state that was.
Is there a state with major nuclear power because obviously living in Tennessee or any of the states on these threads is a danger to your life.
Customers say “BUILD POWER PLANTS. Stop the Green CRAPOLA. Get serious about serving your customers’ needs.”
Now and again I visit friends of mine in western Pennsylvania. I prefer the back roads. My route takes me past a huge abandoned coal-fired power plant. The plant goes on for blocks and blocks. I know it’s coal-fired because of the coal chutes. The buildings looks modern.
Yet it is closed. I wonder if its closure has anything to do with Pennsylvania’s power shortage. 🤔
I got an email from First Energy regarding the PJM interconnection and conserving energy.
In WEST VIRGINIA.
We voted for Trump by a wider margin than your State did.
Twice.
Rethink your life choices.
But we are repeatedly told by the Public Masters and Celebrities that Man Made Global Warming is dangerously close to causing spontaneous combustion on a Planetary Scale.So what gives??
How do you conserve energy when the entire northeast is freezing below zero?
"Duke Energy: Alert! The extremely low temperatures & high energy demand continue to place an unusual strain on the energy grid. Please consider powering down all nonessential electric devices and delaying unnecessary energy use for the next 24-48 hours to help avoid rotating outages in the early morning hours tomorrow and Monday. We understand this is a difficult ask given both the holidays and the cold temps and we are grateful for your efforts. Learn more about how we respond to these grid emergencies and how you can help at duk.us/32. Thank you for your cooperation. Text stop to cancel."
I replied and told them "Screw off. Build more coal-fired generating plants."
Grow up.
Let them freeze to death in the dark,,,,demented Joe demands coal power generators be shut down. If you voted Dem, live with it and stop complaining.
But yea, let’s keep using EVs even is people will die.
We’ve been getting the same requests, from all of our power providers.
