The crunch was exacerbated by unusually high heating demands. Production at the wellhead was shut off at facilities across Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. news.yahoo.com AEP Texas warns of possible local rolling blackouts (Reuters) - American Electric Power Co Inc's AEP Texas unit urged customers in the Rio Grande Valley to conserve power because continued cold weather could cause more power plant problems, requiring additional rolling blackouts in the area. uk.reuters.com New Mexico governor declares emergency, orders government offices closed due to natural gas shortage ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
