Rolling blackouts are just part of the plan.
I keep hearing about possible blackouts in the Midwest coming this summer. Even Texas is expecting rolling blackouts. This is an energy state with abundant natural gas. I have seen blackouts due to storms and other issues but never a prediction of blackouts just because it is summer and hot. While I am aware there has been an effort to “go green” by implementing solar and wind generation, together they account for around 4% of generation That’s hardly a blip in the greater scheme of things. Coal has historically been the baseload power generator. It has been systematically dismantled over the past decade and this has resulted in a net decrease in total available power in many areas.
While natural gas has risen to supplant coal as the United State’s largest energy source for electricity, total energy has not increased in 10 years. Due to economic conditions and government regulations, coal plants have been shuttered at a rapid rate since 2010. In the period 1993 to 2009, retirements averaged .36 GW per year and totaled 6.2 GW. In 2020 and 2021 retirements averaged 7.9 GW per year and 95.2 GW in total. Over the next five years, planned retirements will total over 24 GW. All this has been supplanted in part by natural gas. Some facilities converted to gas,

We have an increasing population. The southern part of the USA will require additional electricity for air conditioning every year. We have a push for electric vehicles that will require more electricity. At the same time, attacks on natural gas follow as coal becomes less of a target. The Left is executing their long-held agenda to put us back in the dark ages, and they may succeed this time.

2 June: news.com.au: Gas and power outages to sweep Australia as cold snap deepens energy crisis
Australians are being warned of gas and power shortages over the next 24 hours as the east coast cold snap pushes the country’s energy supplies to the limit.
by Frank Chung
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) told more than 100 industry players they may be forced to cut gas use. AEMO has also invoked an emergency supply guarantee mechanism on gas producers for the first time.
“This is the biggest energy crisis in 50 years,” Energy Users Association of Australia (EUAA) chief executive Andrew Richards told 2GB.
Industry experts have warned the UK-style energy crisis could crash Australia’s economy.
Wholesale electricity prices have soared by more than 140 per cent in 2022 alone, driven by surging gas prices even as 70 per cent of Australia’s gas is exported overseas...
Origin Energy on Wednesday issued a profit warning, withdrawing its guidance for the 2022-23 financial year as it could no longer see how the crisis would end.
***The company called on the Government to restart the ailing coal sector in order to bring prices down...

ESG fraud segment - first 8 minutes (after intro):
1 June: BBC World Business Report: DWS boss resigns amid greenwashing claims
Presenter: Rob Young
The boss of German asset manager DWS has resigned after a raid over alleged greenwashing. A former employee had suggested the company was selling investment funds as green when they weren’t. DWS denies the claims, and we find out more from Steve Arons, who has been following the story for Bloomberg in Frankfurt. And we hear about wider concerns over the recent growth of ESG, or environmental, social and governance considerations in business, from Magdalene Senn of the non-governmental organisation Finance Wende in Berlin...

ignore ESG as your peril. pensions are being raided and annihilated.
should be “at your peril”.
We need to use FOIA requests to find out who is at the core of these decisions and how they were made. The names and positions of these “deep staters” then need to be drug out into the public view. Cockroaches don’t like the light.
Rhetorical question no doubt......
Need mo drop cords with those multiple plug up ends.
That will fix it oh and to really fux it every buddy go eeeeveeeeee
Herr government are idiots
If I run out of gas for my generator, I’ll have to drive up the road to 9,500 ft to cool off.
We didn’t “allow” the great reset. The nation overwhelmingly voted for President Trump. The vote was STOLEN and Biden was installed. We did not “allow” a Democrat administration. We were steamrolled.
These things happen when your needs are provided by political scientists and lawyers, not productive people.
There’s going to be a great reset, all right, and perhaps it’ll start if those blackouts occur. Doxing can go both ways, as can burnings, lootings, etc. Of liberals and their cohorts.
I’m going to install one next week. I’m getting tired of running extension cords through the window when the power goes off around here periodically.

What happened in Sri Lanka can easily happen here.
This is a concern now here in NC. The news reporters are trying get us to use fans more and AC less. High today is 93 with 80% humidity. Sorry, I don’t have a pool onto take a dip.
In order to condition us to accept permanent blackouts as the left forces us to transition to “renewable” energy, they must subject us to little blackouts first.
“Never forget that “global warming” was invented by the neo-malthusian Club of Rome as a tool to force a drastic reduction of human populations. see:Maurice Strong.”
That is it in a nutshell. “Green” is just the cover story to hide the true agenda.
Big Brother will control control your thermostat.
Easy. The democrat party is destroying electricity production.
Everyone is trying to figure out how to replace electricity with electricity. When they better be wrapping their heads around how to live without any at all like before it was even invented. Standards of living are about to change drastically. Better be ready for the worst case situation because it will indeed be the reality. Power tools will be completely obsolete before this is done.
Texas- large population increase with no new power plants.
“They want us dead.”
Be fair. They only want 95% of us dead.
What's going on? It will soon be off.
