Joe, ask your buddy Xi if you can borrow his credible plans. I don’t hear any creaking coming from China.
It’s a feature.
This is what the left wants.
Just the price of socialism.
“Just plug it in!”
IF this is true, then it is solely because retarded leftist eco-freaks are shutting down coal plants.
Cryptocurrency mining farms are using a lot of electricity.
But, electricity comes from walls.
We need unlimited more EVs.
They are saving the world, one unstoppable car fire, at a time.
Windmills for everybody!

Soon....
Dem aide:
They did a ceremony of the last gas range being tossed onto a landfill heap. Next to the lawn mowers and leaf blowers.
Next year we will have one for the final gas powered car. It has to get gas in big cans from Mexico or Canada to run it. (laughs).
Reporter rushing in: “Did you see the bulletin? There’s going to be a total power outage in twenty minutes over the Eastern half of the country.”
Aide: Again? Sheesh.
Duh!
To paraphrase my famous tagline: “An Infrastructure built on MERIT cannot survive on DEI”. We now have DEIs running national energy policy - and so the system will all grew up with and loved will soon COLLAPSE.
The solution - unicorn farts
Becoming more like South Africa by the day.
Who could have ever seen this coming.🙄
It’s one reason they’re building so many around DC. Bitch and argue all you like, but when there are power or parts (transformer) shortages, this area’s grid will get top priority and be backed up by the military.
Current;y North Korea is running a NOrth South Satellite above the North America that they are waiting for the right moment to explode. The Super EMP as they call it will send the US back into the 1600s. How fun...
But those EVs, the ones that run on wind & solar power, will save the day!
Just leave it outside all day to charge, even drive it around a bit, then bring it in the Garage at night to run the house.
Easy-Peasy! What could be better than that?
Unexpected.
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.
Nearly 40,000 megawatts, or 40 gigawatts, of generating capacity in PJM is forecast to retire by 2030, 90% of which is coal and natural gas.
PJM's "low entry scenario" envisions an addition of just over 15,000 megawatts over the same period.
Under its high entry scenario, capacity additions through 2030 would be twice that at 30,000 megawatts, still short of making up for retired capacity.
