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.

Indeed.
They just have to have a propaganda media brainwashing the public 24/7.

“But I don’t have enough head for it (vertical drop).”
Yes, I remember your system. And of course storage is the most important. But you can make hydro power without any vertical drop, just need moving water and a lot of surface area. :)
Anyone who has the ability to should be looking into an off grid solar system.🤔
“And sadly, all across this country, foolish-greedy-inept-corrupt politicians are eager to jump on the green bandwagon. Just imagine what this country could be like if the RED STATES united and told CornPop and his crew to, ESAD.”
Build the wall, take the politicians (from both parties) who fought the wall, and throw them over it.
