Blackouts = hundreds of elderly deaths and countless other deaths due to lack of electricity.

But no electricity means no tv, no cnn, and heck even no power to charge up phones.. but im sure the govt will find a way to ensure we have access to their propoganda.

Gruesome Newsom and his democrat party are literally shutting the lights off in places like Los Angeles and San Francisco at random.

Good luck with no power.

Refugees flood into Nebraska seeking a place to recharge their iPhones.

Wonder if ANY of them remember that they voted to drain their reservoirs to save some useless fish.

The climate change AGENDA will to the world far more damage than climate change, (if indeed there is any).

(yourself....how does going full-up E-car in ten years...make any sense with the current grid?)

Hey it works in Star Trek and Star Wars.

Power from........ somewhere.

It works in the movies.

Along similar lines:

Alan Greenspan said we can basically print all the money we want so the deficit isn’t a problem. Then he reversed himself. He was for it before he was against it.

Follow the science!

Seems like I saw some of that over a decade ago.

Now, where was it I saw it?

“… inability to bring on new green power generation, such as solar, wind, and batteries”

To make the “green” fantasy work, you need TRILLIONS of investment in batteries or other storage. The entirety of all currently deployed battery storage can power the country for a couple of minutes. There aren’t enough mines and ore refineries in the world to produce the materials to make the needed batteries.

Indifference is not the problem.

The problem is what they care about (or at least claim to care about).

People that care about the fictitious problem of anthropomorphic global warming are in control of our government and are attacking our energy infrastructure.

Not caring is not the problem. What they care about is the problem.

Electric cars are a method of control. They hate that you can get cheap gas, fill up in a couple of minutes, and be off 300, 400+ miles in any direction thereafter.

With electric cars they can ensure that you have to wait a while to “refill,” you’ll take a route where charging stations are available, and you’re pinned to a relatively low number of miles.

But dagnabbit, you’re saving the environment!

Blackouts by design. The sacrifice to fight “climate change.”

“The regulatory body pointed out that supply-chain woes are delaying major Southwest solar projects, while some coal plants have trouble procuring supplies because of increased exports.”

Exports to the point of not meeting domestic needs first???

Sounds like some SERIOUS SHIITE is going on here, as in the US replacing Russian coal supplies to Europe, even at the expense of blackouts here.

I think we can safely expect more of this ‘sharing the pain’. The question is how much more and how much of this crap will Americans tolerate, just to keep the DNC/Neocon Money Laundering Facility running in Ukraine?

Xcel in New Mexico and Texas panhandle says they are in good shape and ready for the summer. (The panhandle is not on ERCOT).
