It’s all planned. I wonder if DC will be affected? How about Klaus Schwab?

Wonder what is happening in Buffalo. Currently getting four feet of heavy snow. The Democrats in New York don’t allow fracking or new pipelines. Sure hope they don’t all freeze.

Not a problem. Just back the Ford F150 Lightning up to the panel box and light the house up.

I’m in New England and we have been notified of the liklihood of rolling blackouts this winter.

We deserve whatever we get.

This won’t be a problem in a hundred years when it’s a degree or two warmer. /s

When liberals have burned all their furniture to live through the winter, they’ll blame Trump for whatever the Democrats say next that he’s guilty of.

No offense but I’ve been hearing this for two years and nothing…which is good.

We had a whole house generator installed this year because of this BS. That is looking like a pretty smart move now. It was a 7 month wait and expensive but l’m betting the wait and the price have both gone up.

Intentional. Haven’t you all realized they’re at war with us? There’s too many of us.

That’s probably a pretty safe bet. I can assure you, the price of the screws and ebolts to hold the thing down have gone up substantially.

And then run an extension cord from the house to the Ford lightning and charge it the entire time!

"...we are doing everything we can,” John Moura, NERC’s director of reliability assessment

Except building more conventional, highly reliable, conventional power plants. Or stopping the retirement of existing plants. Or life-extending existing plants.

Such a typical liberal weenie excuse -- "We are doing EVERYTHING we possibly can...within the strict limits set by the insane green / global warming zealots."

I’m old enough to remember when blackouts (aside from storm damage) were something experienced in less-developed countries, not the United States of America. What has happened to us? (A rhetorical question, we all know what’s happened to us.)
