New York City residents were asked on Wednesday to limit their electricity usage to avoid power outages during the blistering heat wave. "We're now experiencing a heat emergency, and we need people to take immediate action," Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "Our electric system is dealing with real strains right now because of the severity of heat that we are experiencing today." De Blasio continued, "We have a real challenge on our hands. So here's the message to all New Yorkers: immediately reduce the use of electricity in your home or in your business. This is very serious stuff.
How's that greenie energy working out, NY? Make sure you call AOC and let her know what you think of it.

Hard to understand how NYC could be buckling when so much of its work-related infrastructure is using WAY less power still.

Just stop charging those cars and all would be fine.

If regular New Yorkers don't turn off their electricity, how are all the rich liberals going to be able to charge their Tesla's?

I’m sure the left will have the same outrage over New York’s electricity problems just like they had over the problems in Texas during the polar vortex.

Gas prices skyrocketing and shortages starting to appear in some locations. Supply chain issues and food prices rising rapidly. Now power shortages and the best the communist death democrats pond scum can do is to either institute rolling black outs or urge the citizens of this country to cut back on the power usage.
How come no one ever conducts a study to see want the effect of tens of millions of illegal aliens who do not belong in this country on the gas supply, food supply, power supply, medical availability etc. etc. Ask yourself this - If our country deported all of these tens of millions of illegal aliens would there be any of these shortages? Scarcity of basic commodities leads to higher prices. The tens of millions of illegal aliens are a major strain on our country. The only shortage that doesn't exist right now is crimes and violence. Did you know that illegal aliens kill over 2,000 of us every year?
This cannot go on like this much longer.

Here's the real story -- suppose New York City's electricity blew out tonight? It's happened three (3) times in my life. Washington Sq. Park's riots could engulf the City.
Think of what would unfold then in the country. The US is on the edge of a precipice.

My father's conservative generation had a vision and worked toward the provision of abundance for all. The left's vision is scarcity and works to insure that everyone has as little as possible.

It's summer, back in ancient times, when I grew up, we had electric power that worked year round, 24/7/365. I don't ever remember losing power other than during hurricanes.
Today we are much more advanced. We now have power outages regularly. What a wonderful improvement. NOT!
The evil greenie weenies are steadily 'advancing us'.
. Soon we'll reach the 1920s.

Greatest city on Earth, huh? Welcome to your new socialist existence. If you don't want to continue living like this, you're going to have to burn the Commucrats out like blood-sucking Ticks.

I really do think I'll get a direct wired propane powered emergency generator installed.

... and not one mention of the recently (April 2021) shutdown of the Indian Point nuclear plant that supplied NYC with about 25% of its power.
Stupidity and madness.

Is this the kind of life you people in New York want. If so keep closing down power plants like you did with Indian Point. Great job andy, you're the best.

Everyone would be better off to turn off and turn out the left.

Wait until everyone has to have electric cars. Nobody will be able to charge their car to get out of the hot city. Wait until everyone goes outside at night to cool off. You think the thugs are bad during the daytime, wait until dark when there are a lot more vulnerable targets. Bullets will be flying. Fists will be flying. The knives will be out. This will be a busy few nights for thugs, theives, and at NYC emergency rooms.

Hey, I have a great idea. Why don’t they build nuclear power plants around big cities?
