Forbes is reporting:
New England’s electric power grid dodged a bullet on Saturday, but at a steep price.
A winter storm across much of New England triggered a surge in electric power demand that severely tested the grid’s reliability and sent power prices into the stratosphere.
On late Saturday afternoon, New England’s electric demand rose at a rate of more 20 MW per minute for over an hour.
In 2012, the average price for one megawatt hour of electricity in New England’s real-time power market was $36.
On Saturday, the price was more than $1,000 at peak demand.The warmists predicted the melting Arctic would cause colder weather and more snow, particularly in the northern hemisphere. I cannot make this stuff up.
Regular readers know this story well; it was foretold/foreshadowed/predicted. It will be interesting to see part 2 of the series being posted by RBN Energy. Hopefully that comes out this week.

Another story on the resurgence on rail in the US. A big "thank you" to the reader for sending the story my way.

Ignore the story. Look at the background in the photo at the link. This is metropolitan/urban Los Angeles -- look at all those high-voltage transmission lines.
