Way to go. Because no one uses natural gas to heat their homes, they depend on electricity to warm them. Having rolling outages BECAUSE of the cold is about the stupidest decision on earth. It's actually illegal for gas companies in Ohio to turn off service for late bill payments during the winter because they would be aiding in the death of people. These people ARE paying for the electric and they are getting turned off. My friend's Water heater for his pool stopped, freezing the pool water and possibly cracking his pool because of these rolling outages. And the outages included public schools as well as city lights and traffic signals. I witnessed one accident on the way to work today because of the light signals not working. This is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
