Precisely. This was predictable, as are the coming brown outs and blackouts.

I’ve been following energy policy for 35+ years, worked in a coal fired steam powerplant as an engineering student. I understand this stuff technically, and I understand it from a big picture economically. In a very fundamental way, the American Economic Miracle had a large foundation block called Cheap Energy.

We are allowing this fool in the White House to throw this away with very little debate. It isn’t going to end well. I hope some major NE cities have a blackout in time to create a real public debate and arrest the slide. I don’t see anything else making this happen.

We have persons making national energy policy who likely lack the education in basic electrical theory. I bet if someone presented a Perpetual Motion Generator and asked for a research grant they'd get it. The sudden great idea just about any first year trade school student gets studying electrical trades LOL. The policy makers are also the ones you can't get them to grasp why underground utility primary is a very bad idea.

We have four basic choices Nuclear reaction steam generation, Coal Fired Steam generation, Gas Turbines, and Hydroelectric power generation, as our meet the demand electrical power generation options. Nothing else of this production capacity is even on the drawing board as far as I know.
