The powers that be have absolutely no intention of building any more real electricity generation. They want to limit every freedom possible, especially the freedom of inexpensive, reliable, abundant energy.
During the very cold winter, Canada’s solar and wind power generation fell to......ZERO.
The dirty BIG secret is that the wind power mechanism must not be allowed to freeze, so something has to keep it warm, even if it is not turning. That ‘something’ is oil and natural gas.
I would love to peak into the future, during the next great cold cycle. I imagine The Comedy Channel running videos of AlGore and his minions stating “the Earth has a fever”
