For example\, there is an increasing reliance on just-in-time d elivery of natural gas\, wind\, and solar to fuel new generating capacity. During extreme weather events\, many of these resources may become unavai lable\, while at the same time\, the ability of transfers to make up the e nergy deficit is limited.
