1. Our gas leaves the state
I love how they say "disruptions" as if it were just a temporary inconvenience. They shut down gas to the northern mountain areas this morning when the temperatures were still in the minus double digits. There is no timeline for returning service to this area. Space heaters sold out as soon as stores opened this morning and that's going to put a hell of a load on the electrical grid.

The gas issues originated in Texas when they shut down compressor stations on gas lines entering NM during their rolling blackouts. We were left without enough gas for the entire state so they cut off entire swaths of the state to preserve service to high population density areas.
