    I was reading about this before on another article. There is a serious power crunch, but a part of it is the CPC trying to curb coal emissions from their more industrial states. There are multiple factors at play here, but the key is to remember that it appears as if the government is aware of it and continues to respond to those crises. Hopefully it will continue to be watched and not completely privatized to 'solve' the problem.

    California, Texas and New York regularly experience rolling blackouts during certain times of the year, which absolutely affects our industrial capacity, it's just Reuters will never actually couch our power supply problems in those terms because we are not a rapidly growing economy.

      Yeah, they mention coal in article, but it’s still surprising I guess.
