Every area of the U.S. could be in danger of experiencing power outages this summer amid a push to convert to renewable energy sources while taking traditional sources of power offline.
"I think the entire country is incredibly vulnerable, because the entire country is facing a huge energy shortage and I don’t think there is any place that is truly safe," Daniel Turner, founder and executive director at Power the Future, told Fox News.
At issue are blackouts that could become widespread across the country this summer as grid operators struggle to meet the increased demand, a problem that has plagued some states for years but now could threaten much of the country.

Good place for some "I Did That" stickers.

Sorry to disagree with you,the Goal as dictated by the White House this week is to institute the New Liberal World Order
I’m more worried about wintertime blackouts. I can survive 100 degree temps without air-conditioning. Not 20 degree temps in the winter!

A stable grid needs stable power sources. Which wind and solar are not and never will be.
The principle Germany discovered (and of late has abandoned) is that for every 100 MW your grid gets from “renewable” sources, you need 80 MW from conventional power plants operating in a condition called “spinning reserve” to pick up the slack when “green” falters to preserve the grid’s stability. Which means the “hidden” cost of a green grid is paying for the construction and operation of a conventional, non-green “ghost grid” capable of meeting 80% of your power needs all by its lonesome.
Which means the green grid will never be a stand-alone proposition (if you value a stable grid) and always will be significantly more expensive than a 100% conventional grid, and actually won’t be green at all because it requires the construction and operation of redundant power sources. Which means the dream of a “green grid” is impractical and little but virtue signaling.

Many thanks for the info !!
