The Empress has declared a Power Conserve Advisory for all of the Empire. Power usage has skyrocketed since the extreme heat wave has started. FEG&E has opened cooling centers for those dealing with power supply issues. Back up generators are being regulated on emergency legislation lowering the average cost of a generator to 16 Astrons. Stagnant air has led to many wind turbines to not generate enough power to supply energy to surrounding areas. One thing the Empire is not used to is dry air. Usually, the Western Empire has ample humidity. Not even mosquitoes are liking these conditions. Governors of the Western states are meeting with the Department of Environmental Protection and leaders of the Franconian Meteorlogical Society to issue proper restrictions and water conservation in case of long-term drought. That means if water is lost, hydroelectric plants in the Empire can lose power due to drought-like conditions. Farmers are especially scared of this. Crops could fail and cause famine as the trees can catch disease from not enough precipitation or humidity. No rain is expected in the forecast except maybe along the southern coast of the Cobran Reserve. Chances of that happening are at least 40% on Friday. Conservation hours are from 9pm to 8am. Scheduled blackouts will be issued to help conserve the grid's power. More on this later.
