This is from November but I’m watching it come true in real time. I’m on the Ohio River and am watching plants close like falling dominos. I’ve always been told to relax because they’re switching to natural gas. That’s not very reassuring. I have seen three of five shuttered along my fifty mile stretch of river in the last three years. I pay .10 kWh still. When does this loss of capacity kick in in the form of higher bills and black outs?

It’s time to start standing up to the children who are puppeting Biden, before we end up like Europe, with cold showers and no electricity.

Where’s the Enviro-Whacko’s on opposition to solar and windmills due to disposal of the toxic waste components at the end of their life cycles? Does this give you a clue as to who is forcing climate change rules to sell and profit from it? Hmmmm??????

They said big wind farms in CA fizzled out when winds died down and the solar panel arrays faded to no output when heavy clouds filled the skies. But more cell towers and then more EV charging stations and home hookups took more energy.

Then it was either old time sources of power or blackouts. Newsom ordered blackouts.

When Newsom survived the voters’ recall election by a large margin he beamed at the cheering crowd and said “And remember, what happens here in California always happens later all over the country.” (cheers)

Natural gas prices do not have a stable price curve like coal.

The price of natgas has had wild swings over the last twenty years.

We may be subject to spikes at the worst of times - during the winter heating season.

These price spikes also affect electricity prices.

We're at $8 per mmBtu today. That's around 80 cents a therm for your heat, which was 25-30 cents a therm last winter and the winter before that.

After all the rules put on coal, the coal energy suddenly became the most expensive energy around.
Like Obama promised.
“We are not going to prohibit building coal plant, but we will bankrupt you if you do. “

How am I going to recharge my EV (assuming I ever bought one which I won’t unless forced to)?

I'll say it again and I'll keep on saying it:

Gang Green wants you freezing and starving in the dark. Mostly, they want you dead.

Never forget it. Kill. Them. First.

I wonder which states.

Luckily, we are on a nuclear power station.

When I retired due to the governments destruction of the coal generating industry in 2012 it was common knowledge that China was building and placing on line a new coal burning power plant every ten days . India around every 45 days . They will have cheap , abundant , and reliable energy while we will be gathering cow dung to heat our homes in the winter . Bath House Barry announced his plans to shut down the coal industry and the republicans with few exceptions stood by and watched . Some applauded his brave plan to decimate the USA . By the way , the coal mines are still mining coal and shipping it to China and India . I loved you America and it hurts to watch you die .
