More On Current Energy
I mentioned in an earlier post that Lawrence Berkeley National Lab has a site showing supply and demand of electricity. They don't cover the whole USA yet, but you can browse what they do have here. And I found a list of USA power companies (including cooperatives).

Brief Power Interruption
We had a brief power outage earlier this afternoon, and though it may be due to the load on "the grid" after two degrees of 90-degree-plus temperatures, it may also be due to the solar spot activity, or even the wilfires burning in Southern California. It may be none of the above, but I know I'm glad for the invention of UPS devices when this sort of thing happens.
Some folks at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab are putting together a good site that shows more information on supply and demand of electricity. They have limited areas at this time, but are hoping to add more U.S. material.
