Memories of last summer’s rolling blackouts and predictions for a hot, dry summer have Californians wondering whether there is enough energy to keep the lights as air conditioners and other energy demands tax the grid. And more supply concerns loom.

We’ll talk this hour about the electrical grid, whether it's ready for the summer, and plans for the future.
