I'm currently without power here at work. The cold weather (19F, windchill of 8F) has overwhelmed the power plants so they have instituted rolling blackouts to try and meet the demand. My battery backup is beeping so I need to shut things down soon.

According to the radio reports the power company was taken by surprise by the energy demands of people trying to keep their homes warm. That sort of unawareness by the power company is disturbing...
