Yeah, I lost my power Saturday morning. I live in Boulder. One question I have is that while the summertime peak may be 6,500 for electric generation, but what about home heating? A lot of houses around here have natural gas furnaces, and if I'm reading that correctly, THEIR methane use isn't included in the 4,400 number.

I wondered about that too - they quote the peak electric generation number to show that their grid still had capacity, but I was more concerned that they had run short of NG. And the max elecetric generation number doesn't say anything about the max N useage.
