Reply to comment by worstatit in Asked to conserve electricity on Christmas eve. What is even going on anymore by CoolHandMike

This is the result of us sharing our energy with our neighboring states. We produce third most electricity in the country to offset other states that don’t have the same capacity.

Everywhere is cold in the us. They’re asking us to cut back to help out our neighbors

I'm fine with helping. What they're saying though is "cut back or we'll cut you off".

They’re saying “cut back or we won’t have enough and there will be brown outs”

Yes, that's what happens when people use more than is produced.
