2021-07-03 -Signs, Portents, and the Weather-

[Fox Business] New York City residents were being told to shut down appliances and scale back on air conditioning amid the threat of blackouts due to an ongoing heat wave in the Big Apple.
Turn off your air conditioning, or you won't have any lights.
Energy provider Con Edison sounded the alarm on Wednesday by urging customers to conserve energy in order to "help keep service reliable," and followed up later with a tweet informing residents that they would be distributing dry ice to Brooklynites who had already lost power after four days of high temperatures and humidity. Roughly 1,700 people were impacted by the Brooklyn outages, FOX 5 reported.
I hope the dry ice comes with warning signs and instructions is 10-15 languages.
Residents also received phone alerts calling for them to "immediately limit energy usage to prevent power outages as the intense heat continues," to "avoid the use of high-energy appliances such as washers, dryers, and microwaves" and to "limit unnecessary use of air conditioning."
Do they have any natural gas stoves in NYC?
Mayor Bill de Blasio then made a plea via Twitter, writing, "We need New Yorkers to take IMMEDIATE action: reduce your use of electricity in your home or your business for the rest of the day. We need to avoid energy disruptions during this heat emergency."
I guess Seattle didn't have a problem with the recent heat there - most homes don't have A/C and besides, they have hydropower electricity.

You need to get adult supervision in getting you more electricity. You start with taking out the Greenies and Anti-nuke Luddites.

Distributing a hazardous substance to tribal people? I don't see that turning out well.

Would it be mean to mention that dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide? As a result of policies to reduce CO2 emissions, they are passing out chunks of CO2. I'm sure it all makes sense if you look at it just the right way and squint.
