They haven't quite gotten to that YET....the NEWEST thing is this Power Flex Alert, they said on the news last night IF not enough people cut back then it may go into rolling 'brown outs'....I have a devise on my air conditioning unit that the Edison company can turn off just my air during a 'crisis'....In the 10 years I have lived here it has never come to that but....you never know, it is 10:30 am and all but 100 outside.....but where I live is all but desert.....so its gets hot 110 and cold 28...... inbetween it is beautiful...
