#2: What could cause people to use more electricity during a heat wave?

# data[].attributes.body
Air conditioning and refrigeration units in homes and offices work harder to keep indoors cooler. Transmission capacity across electric lines is reduced during high temperatures, further straining the electrical grid.

#R1: What is a heat dome, and how does it increase the chances of a wildfire?

# data[].attributes.body
"A heat dome is caused when the atmosphere traps hot ocean air, as if bounded by a lid or cap. The upper air weather patterns are slow to move, referred to by meteorologists as an Omega block."(Wikipedia)

#R2: How could a power outage impact the public if it happened during an intense heat wave?

# data[].attributes.body
"The heat wave itself doesn't cause a power outage. Instead the high temperatures cause people to increase the use of their air-conditioning. This increased use, requires a greater amount of electricity and creates a strain on the transmission lines."
