Let's give you little education. The government will use media to scare people. In this case, State is always looking for people to use less energy. Let's feed the media POSSIBLE rolling blackouts to save on energy emissions at power plants. Guess what? No rolling blackouts during the highest heat load state have ever experienced.

It's like the Y2K bug: lots of publicity about the potential problems caused people to get their asses in gear and fix their code. Result: crisis averted.
Similarly, during the recent heat wave, people cut back their electricity use sufficiently to avoid any blackourts.
