   So burning fossil fuels plays a role in making heatwaves worse which then leads to this:

   “To meet the demand, utilities in New England burned more [methane] gas. [Methane] gas burned in the power sector reached nearly 2.0 billion cubic feet (Bcf) on both June 19 and 20, compared to about 1.20 Bcf per day consumed on the Wednesday and Thursday of the previous week.”

   And so the vicious cycle continues!
