| #7 electricity demand is based not just on weather but on economic activity interestingly, because electricity prices are so high in europe, some manufacturing is coming back to the US -- so we will likely have a relatively high demand having said that, the electricity system is pretty compartmentalized; high temperatures in, say California, will create a supply problem even if high temperatures in, say, Colorado will not its almost impossibly complicated to predict supply shortages this far in advance |

| #5 #2 Mr B, Hello. Contrary to media reports this is supposed to be a cool spring. Many records have been broken already in the states and Canada. This year finally they have forecasted three possible hurricanes. Every year they have called for large historic activity. The Russians are preparing for the coming mini ice age now(300 years). The Russian space station director is a big believer in the cooling trend. Sun spot activity is at an historic low of three. Normal I understand is 3000 for the same time period. Media has suppressed this information here and in Europe. Media here is either controlled by our government or they slavishly comply to this administration. |

| #4 I get my electricity from a municipally-owned utility. There has been no change in the $/kwh rate for me going back to December 2013, it runs around 11 cents/kwh. |

| #3 The Champ actually told us before he was elected that he was going after coal fired plants, that he would "make them too expensive to operate." |

| #2 This summer I think will be a real scorcher. So with almost all of Central America showing up thanks to no borders and getting on a grid not designed for such huge increase in populations, and eco-terrorists shutting down coal plants, and food prices going up, and water reservoirs going dry, I am sure the Chief Executive everything under control /sarc. |

| #1 Our President is on record saying that under his schemes the price of electricity would undoubtedly skyrocket. No one in the MSM seemed to think this was newsworthy, despite its economic effects. But then, economics is boring, isn't it. |
