With all the energy sources the US has; we should not have these blackouts period.

The USSR (Russia - to the youngsters) also had enormous energy reserves but kept the people cold and energy starved.
Has nothing to do with energy and everything to do with controlling people.

I’m tempted to build a coal furnace just so I can burn the damn coal.
Wonder what a truckload of coal costs these days.

What energy sources are you referring to? Coal accounts for about 48.5 of our generation and that is spread across the nation but heavy in certain areas. Wind and solar are a silly pipe dream. We have a good mix but when you remove a significant portion of something as large a coal you are going to have problems, serious problems.

We will have blackouts for the same reason we do not completely annihilate any enemy we fight. Our political correctness causes us to tie our own hands behind our backs - for no reason in my opinion.
