Sounds like the chickens from the war on coal and nuclear power are coming home to roost.

Thanks, you jag-offs, who elected ObaMao and his puppets like our own idiot U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr.

It’s the result of low natural gas prices. The war on coal/nuclear provides upwards pressure on price, but natgas is so cheap and plentiful nowadays that the effect of those low prices are dwarfing the anti-coal/nuclear efforts.

Seriously. That guy would be considered a step or two below average at the Special Olympics.

Read the article. It’s about having too much cheap energy (natural gas) that it may cause some nuclear and coal fired plant to have to shut down temporarily because the electricity they generate can’t compete with the natural gas plants. Obviously there is more energy capacity than needed.

So it’s not about shutting down the grid but shutting down some of the plants supplying the grid because they are not needed.

In other words, it’s a good news for the consumer.
