California heat wave may trigger blackouts

Yeah well, at least you're not going to have to drink sewage.

With demand for power on Tuesday expected to exceed Monday's record, the California grid operator said it might have to trigger rolling blackouts, making it essential for customers to conserve electricity as a killer heat wave blankets the region.

Yup, no sewage drinking necessary here.

After dodging a bullet on Monday, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) came close to the breaking point but met the peak demand because customers conserved energy and the system remained intact.

However, the bullet should strike right between the eyes today. Yes, so it's hot out. It's summer. It happens. That's okay though. Go for a swim. Drink some water. Create yourself a breeze. But don't drink sewage.
