    We lost power due to ERCOT three times yesterday. But I wonder why there would be a shortage or why they have to do this now because when we have over 100 degrees and everyone is using their air conditioning to stay cool they don't have to conserve energy then, unless our heating draws more energy. I don't think it would draw more. My DH said that they were doing it to conserve all the electricity because the super bowl is on Sunday and Dallas has been hit pretty hard with snow and ice. DH may have a point!!!

    global warming usually comes before an ice age. think of it more as "climate change" then global warming.
