Some wiki history on nuclear, and then the left went after coal and dams, and natural gas in a war against electricity.
“On May 26, 1958, the first commercial nuclear power plant in the United States, Shippingport Atomic Power Station, was opened by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as part of his Atoms for Peace program. As nuclear power continued to grow throughout the 1960s, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) anticipated that more than 1,000 reactors would be operating in the United States by 2000.”
“The first U.S. reactor to face public opposition was Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station in 1957. It was built approximately 30 miles from Detroit, Michigan and there was opposition from the United Auto Workers Union. Pacific Gas & Electric planned to build the first commercially viable nuclear power plant in the US at Bodega Bay, north of San Francisco, California. The proposal was controversial and conflict with local citizens began in 1958. The conflict ended in 1964, with the forced abandonment of plans for the power plant. Historian Thomas Wellock traces the birth of the anti-nuclear movement to the controversy over Bodega Bay. Attempts to build a nuclear power plant in Malibu, California were similar to those at Bodega Bay and were also abandoned.”
From a couple of hours ago...
But not the lower half of Manhattan...
instead of always-reliable gas stoves, dryers and air conditioners, New York City now has EV chargers. I would imagine that charging the battery for a car takes a lot more power than charging the battery for an iPhone.
Elections have consequences
Two questions....
1) Would rolling blackouts manage power shortages enough to reduce the number of outages?
2) Do rolling blackouts show up on ConEd’s outage list/map/stats?
3) Is Manhattan being subjected to rolling blackouts?
Summer in the City

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
(et cetera)
Egypt. On penalty kicks.
And the stadium in Dallas is air conditioned.
The response to the crisis may not be the one Mamdani planned for.
You should have typed that in MORSE.
but at night it’s a different world ...
The ATT Stadium roof was closed and the stadium was air conditioned. 100 heat index outside.
Zero qualifications Mandami is having a Meltdown ,LOL
*yawn*
All according to plan. /s
Moslems are terrible at EVERYTHING!
Except MURDER AND RAPE!
I remember 1977 when New York made the national news for blackout

Nov 2025 - Governor Hochul Announces $151 Million in Savings for New York Energy Customers
Democrats have turned most (or all) of America’s largest cities into overcrowded third-world s**t holes.
They now survive on taxpayer money extorted from the working class in rural areas and red states and the wealthy everywhere.
Our cities are past the tipping point and there is no going back.
Everything democrats touch they turn into crap.
