As people from California to Texas cranked up their air conditioners, at least eight utilities across five states saw electricity use reach all-time highs, meaning they provided more simultaneous power than ever before.

Interesting since I often hear anti enviro nay sayers (republicans) that say.....what good is solar power at night.. How ya gonna store all that lectricity??
And here is not only an example of power needed during the day but all-time highs.
The peaks are always in the daytime, both of them. Also, I bet the PNW generators made (are making) a little extra scratch from it.
Hundreds of them decided PP&L was ripping them off. They were even going to get a lawyer and file a class action suit.
Very few of then knew how to read their bill and almost none knew how to read their meter.
I was shocked at how many people were that stupid. I'm sorry but I'm not going to say ignorant LOL.
What a concept. The people at PP&L decided.. HEY lets rip a bunch of people off by over charging them.
And lets wait till the coldest time of the year
