A “heat dome” is to blame, prompting cooling centers, free museum access, and extended pools — while New York’s mayor urges folks to crank up thermostats to save power, sparking online backlash. Grids are bracing for a massive energy spike but are confident they’ve got the capacity to avoid blackouts as Americans try to stay cool and celebrate.
