Summer of Brownouts for Indiana?

The Indiana Daily Student ran Midwestern power grid projects high risk of not meeting demand.

This year, MISO will have 2.3% less capacity than the previous summer, coupled with a 1.7% increase in demand. The report cites higher temperatures, power generation outages, low-wind conditions and a transmission line that was damaged in a Dec. 2021 storm as contributing factors. 

So climate change comes to the Midwest.

I still think there are alternatives, more local power generation by alternative means, but I feel like the voice in the wilderness. My Cutting Carbon - Modest Proposals did not even merit a good laugh.
