The biggest threat to our electrical grid is from the EPA shutting down coal fired plants and increasing our reliance on windmills for power generation. In February 2011 extreme cold in Texas led to a spike in electricity use. The electric utility companies didn’t have the resources to maintain service and as a result there were rolling blackouts. The much vaunted windmills that provide almost 20% of electric power in Texas could not supply the extra power and the coal and natural gas plants operating at the time were inadequate to meet the need. The EPA and Obama’s environmental policies are setting up the same scenario nationwide.
Yep, my #36.
