While campaigning in 2019, Joe Biden guaranteed “we’re going to end fossil fuels.” What he didn’t say is that eliminating fossil fuels will create a troublesome scarcity of electricity. He also didn’t say that was part of the plan, even though it just might be.
Now with the power of the presidency behind him – again we ask, how could such a disastrous event happen? – Biden is just a few pages of paperwork away from forcing natural gas- and coal-fired power plants to sharply cut their greenhouse emissions. If the emission caps can’t be met, power plants will then have to adopt carbon capture technology, which is quite expensive.
Our friends at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity had an interesting response to the news.
“Ben Franklin,” they said, “is often heralded as the man who discovered the power of electricity. Joe Biden wants to be the president who abolished it.”
Output cuts that will be required under the proposed regime “are so stringent,” says the CTUP, that “fossil fuel plants – which supply around 65% of America’s power – would be technologically incapable of complying.” The only way they will be able to stay open and generating power is if Americans’ utility bills are raised “dramatically.” If not, they close, and the power they produce is gone.
The administration knows this. The administration doesn’t care. The administration, driven by the hard-left zealots that run the Democratic Party, wants the rest of us to make do with less.
It’s the much same in California, where progressive politicians are committed to an unachievable target: As 2045 expires, all retail electricity sold in the state and used in government buildings must be produced by renewable resources, which are effectively limited to solar and wind.
Actually, the objective can be met. But there won’t be enough electricity to meet demand because the natural gas and nuclear power that’s taken off line won’t be fully replaced, so California is looking at a future of blackouts, rationing and rates more punishing than they already are. Either policymakers are aware of this and it doesn’t bother them, or they are completely inept and incapable of critical thinking.
We are naturally reminded of Ida Auken, the Social Democrat member of the Danish parliament, who in a World Economic Forum essay insisted that in the future we will own nothing and be happy. The headline – “Welcome to 2030: I own nothing, have no privacy and life has never been better” – made it clear that some powerful people are trying to turn the world into a commune which they of course will run.....
LOL! I am in Ft. Walton!
There is now a Turkey Creek Park in Niceville, and a nature boardwalk for about a mile or so. People swim and picnic at Turkey Creek. we go there on weekends!.................
You ask - When will people wake up?
Simple answer NEVER.
More complicated answer, it doesn’t matter if people wake up or not. Joey and the Demonrats have 90 MILLION pre-printed ballots ready to go. Election Fraud is now the norm.
We had a well, but not with a pump.
It was located about a hundred feet from the opposite side of the house, and you let down a long tube on a chain into a terracotta pipe. The tube had a valve at the bottom to let in water and when you got it back up you pulled a release on the top to let the water out into a bucket you then carried to the house. The water had grit and clay in the bottom, so I didn’t drink as much as I should have.....................
You have my respect. In WV where I grew up, we also didn't have those, but we didn't have Mississippi's two-season climate, either. I live in AL now, and get down on my knees and thank GOD for A/C.
Truth.
Why do they have this kind of power? Why can’t we do anything to stop this?
Stinking communist bastards continue to run roughshod over the servile & indolent Aamerican sheeple...
There are no limits to tyranny...
There is no end in sight!
So:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

How’s that gonna work with digital currency?
All while they’ll still have power to run their homes and offices.
Between a warm winter and a new furnace I used 1/3 of the electricity that I used last year, yet, my electric bill has increased by 60%.
“Picture California with no electricity this summer...”
How will their electric fire trucks travel to combat the inevitable massive wildfires they’ll have?
Is Gavin issuing Super Soakers to all citizens to fight the fires themselves? *SNORT*
Oh, wait. They’ve been classified as ‘Assault Weapons’ and have been banned...
“Things will be changing radically in the very near future but for the better not the worse.”
Send me a quart of your Optimism, because I’m running dangerously low! :)
I was born in 1960 and have never lacked for anything - electricity, A/C (well, only in my parent’s bedroom, LOL!) , running water, indoor plumbing, washer and dryer, a COLOR TV when I was about 7 years old - to watch Da Packers, of course! ;)
However, if it comes down to it, I’ll be more able than most to live without those luxuries. “Army Training, Sir!” Plus, I’m marrying a Country Boy. He done shot me a wild turkey ta eat just yestidy! :)
I don’t need electricity to grow food - but if everything goes as planned, home gardens will be outlawed, as will having chickens or raising your own beef or pork.
Wonder how the rest of the ‘Citified Proles’ will adapt? No electricity, no computers, no EBT cards...
Until then, Let’s Go, Brandon!
Keep the faith. Events are unfolding faster and faster.
Will do. Love your tagline, BTW. :)

Solar is a suitable solution for many. I have a 8 KW system. I’ve been getting about a 8% annual return on investment without any government subsidies or grants. I can be independent and live reasonably normal without the grid.
I would recommend solar for anyone striving to free themselves from government control of electricity production.
No phones!
No Lights!
No Motor Cars!
Not a single luxury!
Like Robinson Caruso!
It’s primitive as can be!.................
