Extreme heat strains electric grid — nuclear power will help, Rep. John Curtis says
There might not be a worse time to run out of power. St. George is also facing city-wide heat exhaustion, reaching triple digit temperatures every day this month except one, and expecting high temperatures of 110 degrees or more for four days out of the next seven. St. George residents were asked Monday and again on Tuesday to limit their energy-use after some sectors of the city experienced power outages on Sunday afternoon caused by an overburdened power grid.
