And all of this to appease the climate change cult. After this, maybe wrongthink can be found to cause climate change. How to get rid of that?
So in other words, let’s be Venezuela and have rolling blackouts.
This word shifting BS they came up with is masterful.
Extremely good propaganda .
That meme should be on billboards, t-shirts, social media everywhere.
Interesting problem for the "net zero" profit end game. If people use less of something, the only profitable alternative is to charge more for less. That's the game. Inflate, whether in words and vocabulary, or in money.
“Smart Thermostats. A/C and electric heating are controlled to reduce usage during peak times.”
Reduce usage during peak times, coupled with reducing usage during times of low (sometimes near-zero) generation.
This was the ONLY possibility and the writing has been on the wall for over a decade, at least for those who pay attention (after all, did anyone ever ask you if you wanted a ‘smart meter’?). Needless to say, BIG LIFESTYLE changes.
The smarter among us will learn how to hack into these systems (such as bypassing ‘smart’ thermostats), while the rest of the masses will learn how to live with some vague entity deciding when they are allowed to have power, and when they’re not.
Meanwhile, back on planet Earth
To replace a 100MW coal plant with a 100MW solar farm is easy. But the 100MW solar farm only produces 100MW from 10am to 4pm. So, you really need 18 hours of energy storage or 1800MWs. This requires 4 100MW solar farms since 3 are just for charging the batteries.
Replacing 1 100MW Coal plant requires 4 100MW solar farms and 1800MW of energy storage.
If you want to have backup for rainy days replacing 1 100MW coal plant requires 4200MW of energy storage and 8 100MW solar farms.
Right. When winter comes out come the old fashion double bladed axes and down come every tree in the neighborhood. There isn’t a police force on the planet big enough to stop that. These people live in a fantasy world.
Here in Upstate, RG&E has provided gas and electric since the 50's....at least. Now a few folks got "bad" bills which have since been corrected. Some folks showed up at a Rochester meeting and said they want the government to take over. Ridiculous...wonder who's prodding them....
The day I have to put up with blackouts had better also contain news of each and every elite’s residence being cut off from power and the inhabitants being afraid to go outside.
Not even close to kidding.
There’s an old saying that says “close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades”. I guess we can add vaccines and green power to when close is good enough. It’s what happens when the truth gets a makeover.
What is also needed is virtual grocery stores. Put them in blue cities — totally replacing all other sources of food, even take out restaurants.
Hungry? Login to the virtual food WWW site and they will tell you how to ignore hunger, yours and your children.
Solve the “excess” population problem in just days.
Oh, and just imagine how cheap the elites can snap up the now vacant food outlets and empty apartments. Gonna be loads cheaper than the burned out buildings created in 2020 by Antifa/BLM thugs.
So then a Virtual Powerplant is just a fancy name for rolling blackouts?
Or more precisely, rolling micro blackouts of individual devices in each home be they the electric water heater, electric heat pump, electric air conditioning, electric stove, or electric vehicle recharging.
And all of this to appease the climate change cult. After this, maybe wrongthink can be found to cause climate change. How to get rid of that?There are two ways for people to give up their religion:
Another reason the powers that be are working hard to enforce electric heating for everyone.
There is a myth that floats around the internet that goes something like this...the elites will own everything while US serfs will own nothing and be happy. We will eat bugs, they will eat beef. They will enjoy access to utilities and US serfs will happily sit in the dark and enjoy the cold/heat. The elites will be the only ones with motor vehicles, we will ride buses as we are moved forcibly into 15 minute city's. The elite will enjoy surfing, skiing and all sorts of privileges that we serfs will not.
Now the reality...the elites will be nothing but targets. They will voluntarily place themselves in the fields of fire, or they will have to remain holed up to avoid being part of the target rich environment. In short, they will own nothing and be happy to draw their next breath. The end.
Oh, so it is blackouts, load deferral and somehow harvesting heat from the water tanks of the world?
I get it now. More BS.
Traditionally, the elites did what they wished, and were not targeted by the majority of people. The USA is an historical anomaly. The founders built well, but checks and balances, the Bill of Rights, and Federalism have all been weakened.
The elites expect to rely on control of the information flow to program the population. They expect fleets of drones and robot warriors to protect them and enforce their proclamations.
The only way to “save the planet” is to destroy those who would “save” it. The only way their plan works is if they kill enough useless eaters.
