                <media:description>LOS ANGELES - AUGUST 9:  A figure passes the dynamic map board showing power distribution through California&apos;s electrical grids in the control center of the California Independent System Operator (Cal-ISO) as hot weather threatens to break state electricity consumption records August 9, 2004 in the Alhambra sector of Los Angeles, California. A heat wave prompted state utility officials to declare a &quot;power watch&quot; today through Wednesday, August 11, to prevent power shortages like those that lead to blackouts during California&apos;s power crisis of 2000 and 2001. Cal-ISO, which manages the flow and distribution of electricity in California, is urging consumers to reduce their use of electricity, especially from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., which are &quot;peak demand hours.&quot;  (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)</media:description>
