Answer #1

It has to do with supply and demand. When the demand increases it can lower the relative supply. Imagine a hose with water flowing out the end. if you punch a bunch of holes in the hose the amount of water that reaches the end becomes less and less. If you put enough holes in the hose eventually you wont get any water coming out of the end of the hose. That is what has been happening in India with their power outages lately. Electrical Demand exceeded supply and the system became overloaded.
