It's 100 degrees outside here in northern NJ. Likely higher due to the humidity.

My air conditioner (one room) may well be keeping me from heat stroke.

My concern is a power outage/black-out at this time.

My larger concern is that the grid for this area is insufficient for everyone with an AC unit or more.

My even larger concern is that if there's an AI center built that depends upon the grid, the AI center gets first dibs on the power. What will happen to the rest of us who depend on power to literally stay alive if heat waves are more frequent and of higher temperatures? (I know, I know. It's a rhetorical statement, not an interrogatory.)
