I believe this is what our betters call “the new normal”. Get used to it! Adjust your expectations and be prepared for a lower standard of living.
In a year or two from now, children will be taught it has always been this way. The best way to deal with such is to reduce your carbon footprint. This summer, turn off that air conditioner in order to do your part. Better yet, remove the AC system from your home entirely.
That white supremacy is hard on a nation.
The ones we clearly see coming never seem to get us.
Like Y2K, for example.
We still haven’t figured out where millions of former participants in the pre-COVID work force have disappeared to.
For all we know by the time we have less generating capacity it may not matter because we will be much fewer in number.
For whatever reason.
Hopium to the rescue.
I figured this is coming so I’ve been working on a solar solution to hold up critical things in a rolling blackout scenario and will be getting a small generator as well.
Get a book on farm life before the REMC became law.
" The nation's largest grid operator is warning it may face a major coming shortfall in electric generating capacity
as utilities retire more and more traditional fossil fuel power plants."
"It's a challenge facing grid operators across the country as power generators mothball coal and natural gas-fired plants for various reasons,
such as reducing high maintenance and regulatory compliance costs or cutting greenhouse gas emissions."
"PJM Interconnection, which manages grid operations across 13 states and the District of Columbia, published new analysis Friday showing retirements
outpacing new additions in the coming years that could leave its service area short of thousands of megawatts of capacity by 2030."
"Retirements are at risk of outpacing the construction of new resources, due to a combination of industry forces,
including siting and supply chain, whose long-term impacts are not fully known," it said in its report."
" PJM said this shortfall is on track due to a "potential timing mismatch" between retirements, growing electricity demand, and the pace of new generation coming online."
Perfect
Has the country hardened the grid against the all to easy crippling effects of a single well positioned EMP? If not then there is nothing the utilities can do anyway.
Be sure to thank your local democrat politician when ya see em, too!!! /s
We are at and have been at WAR. Asymmetric warfare looks lke this.
reminds me of what the patriots did to their British owners, ransack and burn
bttt
A democrat caused problem.
Southern Companies has plenty of generating capacity for the SE, in large part because of Plant Vogle (sp?) coming on line. The reactors are not even fully powered up yet.
But Southern Companies does wheel power around the US grid. So they participate in this mess.
