"Where will all the required electricity come from? Unicorns?"

Please refer to Post 19 for great information on Unicorn Power.

Silly you. The Democrats put in place new regulations banning cloudy days, banning nighttime, and banning calm days. Their work is done.

“These filth who keep dicking around with our energy are the worst of the worst and only one small notch above the gun control scum.”

I was in the electricity business for 35 years and enjoyed it when engineers were respected and knew how to build large-scale, reliable, economical systems that kept the lights on year-round. Then the politicians took over and ruined the industry. I couldn’t take the endless politics any more and left the around 2000.

“filth who dick around with our energy” is so very true. The industry was taken over by Cassandras who didn’t have a lick of power engineering sense and wouldn’t ask the power engineers simple questions like “what happens if we shut down all of our fossil fuel plants?”

Remember, with electric smart meters, they can single you out and cut you off....remotely.

Anyone check to see if their grid can handle this? (No because it can’t)

Are they going to use natural gas to power the generator?

Encourage droves of people to leave Chicago, and discourage droves of people from moving there.

Brilliant!

I see a case of interstate commerce here, preventing local restrictions. Our only chance is the feds don’t buy into this garbage,

This Brandon is crazy with a capitol C. If the electric grid goes down, what are the people of Chicago going to cook with, batteries? The same for hot water, radiator heat, etc.

If this is the best the fools can find for mayor, let’s nuke
Chicago from space and call it a good day.

Faulty wiring might burn your house DOWN,
but faulty gas distribution can blow your house UP!

Reminds me of an old joke…

Why do you cut a tree DOWN but chop it UP?

This is a nationwide RAT thing. The Washington State House passed the same type of nonsense last week. Time’s a comin’.

Short answer…YES, they are that stupid. Ask a dim voter, they’ll tell you that they believe the people they vote for are SMARTER than they. I heard that said many times by the adults in my family growing up. Consequently that insane talk prompted me to never vote dimocRAT my entire life.
