Blackouts Ahead as Summer Energy Use Soars (UK)

Telegraph (UK) – Power cuts could become a regular occurrence if summers become hotter, driving up the demand for air-conditioning, energy specialists warned yesterday.

Analysts said that increasingly hot weather could lead to even higher energy prices and further shortages as the system struggles to cope.
