For many New Yorkers dealing with searing temperatures amid a brutal heat wave, it may have been asking too much.
"We need New Yorkers to take IMMEDIATE action," de Blasio wrote on Twitter. "Reduce your use of electricity in your home or your business for the rest of the day. We need to avoid energy disruptions during this heat emergency." "The extreme heat will hopefully break early tomorrow [Thursday] morning," he wrote in a subsequent message. Let’s get to that point safely." At a news conference, de Blasio called for New Yorkers to reduce their use of air conditioning as well as washers, dryers and household appliances, Newsweek reported.More Related News
