HALF of the population of Phoenix would require medical attention at a hospital if a blackout occurred during a historic heat wave.

Sorry, where are these numbers coming from? The articles estimates 917 deaths over five days, or 1873 deaths in a hypothetical mega heat wave after 60 more years of climate change. That's still bad, but it's only like 1-2% of 30k in one day.
