Tenn. Blackouts Tonight

I just heard some Tenn. politician on the radio saying they were going to have to start turning off power in Tenn. due to the cold. He said to expect to lose power for a few minutes every two hours. At least the cold air is cleaner now that those dirty old coal burning power plants are offline.

That is just ridiculous
Yep got a email alert to cut power use. We are served by TVA. I did my part. Pole supporting main line crossing my driveway. No power from 3am until 3 pm today No degrees and high wind gusts.
Saw some one post about tuff man. You fellows have never met the the Linemen around here.
5 of them braved the cold to get the power back up and going. Took them about 4 hours to replace and rebuild everything. The fellow in the bucket ought to get a medal of valor, he endured about 3 full hours in the bucket non stop at over 40 feet off the ground. I asked the crew leader it they wore heated vests, nope, not allowed.
They told me they would not be home until after Christmas due to the huge number of power outages.
The rolling black/brown outs are a sure thing. Bastages shutting down power plants left and right.
TVA spokesman announced the blackout mandate has been cancelled.
