Tulsa is melting and the power company is pulling the plug

Original version ·

It is officially too hot to be this broke, but the local utility providers clearly missed the memo.

When the temperature hits triple digits in Tulsa, the grid is supposed to be a lifeline, not a luxury item. Instead of keeping the AC humming, local providers are busy shutting off electricity for anyone who falls behind on their skyrocketing bills.

It is a classic case of profit margins meeting a heatwave. Residents are literally sitting in the dark while the thermometer refuses to drop. Apparently, if the wallet is empty, the heat exhaustion is just part of the bargain.

Being poor is becoming a legitimate health hazard during a summer heat streak.
