Let 'em sweat in the dark

They’re hot, we’ll put ‘em in nursing homes

De Blasio warns the people who voted for him to prepare for major blackouts. Hahahaha

Mayor Bill de Blasio warned that parts of southern Brooklyn are on the brink of massive power outages Thursday — as he directed residents to conserve energy “as much as possible” amid the fourth day of a sweltering heat wave.

Con Edison issued the warning Thursday morning that the electrical supply in Bay Ridge, Fort Hamilton, South Park Slope, Greenwood and Sunset Park is currently in danger.

“There is a problem in southern Brooklyn,” Hizzoner said at his daily press briefing. “We’ve got to protect our electricity supply for all New Yorkers.”

De Blasio advised “avoiding using major appliances,” including washers, dryers and microwaves and limiting the use of air conditioners “as much as possible.”

“Everyone please take this warning seriously. Please act on it,” he said. “We will push Con Ed hard to resolve this situation quickly.”

The power issues come as temperatures will hit a sweltering 90+ degrees again Thursday.

Just as we (I, at least) cheer as Seattle and Portland burn, we can shrug our shoulders at idiot New Yorkers’ plight. They put De Blasio and Cuomo in power and cheered as Indian Point Reactor 2 was shut down, natural gas pipelines stymied, and Con Ed attacked and thwarted in its every attempt to keep the city supplied with energy. The people demanded either imaginary “green energy” or nothing at all, and that’s what they’re getting.

Connecticut’s next, by the way, if you haven’t been following the Hartford Follies.
