Because a lot of electric grids are too old to handle the increased load.

To translate: When it's hot, air conditioners use more electricity. This is because they use more electricity because they have to work harder to keep a cool temperature.

The reason why electric grids are too old to handle the load is because:

Electric grids were built for smaller populations with the assumption that we'll build more as we make more babies; AND; electric grids weren't built to handle the temperature rise from climate change.

Well maybe we can cool ourselves with gas/oil burning air conditioners like in winter.

>with the assumption that we'll build more as we make more babies

Babies don't build infrastructure. And EU cities had more migration instead of babies and yet they still didn't build more infrastructure to keep up with the migration population growth. Why is that?

> electric grids weren't built to handle the temperature rise from climate change.

But somehow they're built to handle running all the new heat pumps we want to have in winter?
