The mayor of New York is asking people to set the AC at 78F.

Typical Carter-grade socialism response.

Fuck his Muzzi arse straight back to HELL!

Sensibility offends you?

No, just socialist muzzis using natural events to fuel their raancid
societal conquest agenda.

This morning I read 382,000 people are
without power.

Why yes that is true.

Now do you know why?

Power Grid Failures Sweep Across the Eastern USA as Solar Activity
Spikes...

A solar storm impact that arrived earlier in the day has begun to
strengthen as two back-to-back solar flares (M6.7 and M6.3) hit
directly over the Americas during a brutal heat wave already pushing
power grids to the limit. Aurora viewing is possible in high-latitude
regions tonight, and power grid failures are as well.

WEEKEND AURORA WATCH: Last night's strong geomagnetic storm is over, but another storm could be in the offing. NOAA analysts believe that a second CME will graze Earth during the late hours of July 4th. If it makes contact, this CME could cause a G2-class (Moderate) geomagnetic storm. The auroras would not be as bright as last night, but fireworks photos might capture an unusually colorful background. Aurora Alerts: SMS Text

STRONG MID-SUMMER GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Mid-summer auroras are rare, but last night (July 3/4) they blanketed the USA during a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm. The display was caused by a CME strike on July 3rd, which was hurled in our direction by an X1-class solar flare three days earlier. After the impact, observers in more than 30 US states reported seeing auroras.

"Holy smokes!" says Roger Hill, who photographed the geomagnetic glow
through an electrical storm over Bennett, Colorado (+39.8N latitude):

I'd rather set my T-stat at 78 and be more
comfortable all day than setting it at 72 and bring down the grid for
the day.

But it isn't within your power to "bring down the grid" at any
thermostat setting - that was/is Nature's doing, fool-warp.
