I'm glad it's been clarified as just a freak event in a day in the life of the Alberta power grid. Because this weather we're having right now is nothing more than what they refer to in Abu Dhabi as "winter".
Though it makes one wonder how much greater the power usage is in a place like Vegas or Abu Dhabi/Dubai when it's 40+ degrees outside and everywhere indoors is a nice comfy 21 (or even cooler). I'm sure the google could answer that question if the heat wasn't so stifling...
