Put me in charge and we would drill right through a baby seal if we thought there was oil underneath.
As always...Punch a Commie for Mommy and nuke the gay whales.
PJM, headquartered in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, was the world's largest competitive wholesale electricity market until the development of the European Integrated Energy Market in the 2000s. More than 1,000 companies are members of PJM, which serves 65 million customers and has 180 gigawatts of generating capacity. With 1,376 generation sources, 84,236 miles (135,560 km) of transmission lines and 6,038 transmission substations, PJM delivered 807 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2018.
Started in 1927, the pool was renamed the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM) in 1956. The organization continues to integrate additional utility transmission systems into its operations.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulates PJM and approves its open access transmission tariff for the wholesale electricity market.
Green energy is as effective as the COVID vaccine
You know SCIENCE
Wind and solar is saving the day in these 100+ degree Texas days.
Proving the Powerline blog is ignorant when it comes to actual power.
Don’t buy into the whole CO2 emissions scam. In fact, we shouldn’t even mention it, as it’s irrelevant, except as a scam.
This whole push for wind and solar is meant to cripple our manufacturing and agricultural capacities.
It’s interesting (to say the least) that the ptb want to wreck our electrical grid while simultaneously pressuring everyone into EVs.
If you look carefully at solar it is not all that green...
Solar currently has a place as an expensive emergency power source.. I have enough solar to achieve a modest level of comfort even if the power went out permanently..
Solar might someday reach a point where it is cheaper power and can compete without subsidy against other forms of power... this will require a breakthrough in electrical storage. At this point solar will thrive since it will save people money.
Wind power is a noisy, dangerous and cranky Rube Goldberg worthy scheme... hydro is entirely different and a brilliant power technology....
Not really pointless. When technology to harvest that free energy becomes cost effective and environmentally friendly, it should be pursued. That ain’t now, though. Go nuke.
If it doesn’t reduce carbon dioxide emissions why are we using wind and solar?

Political control, political power, destruction of the USA.
Conservatives need to STOP acknowledging CO2 has anything to do with the climate.
There is NO evidence that increases or decreases in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels has any effect on what the heck the weather does.
This is actually better than I expected, I think this is over generous as when I calculated this 10 years ago I was coming up with 15% worse that gets progressively worse above 10% of the grid.
They should only get tax benefits at the grid level and the power company issues rebates based on net grid carbon emissions reduction...if you’re serious about human driven global warming...(to me, even if real we don’t know what this means...just the dire dark fantasies of the left)
What in the frack does CO2 have to do with wind/solar power?
Go nuclear, baby or go home.
Ever hear of Coal Bed Methane? It was all the rage back about 1992 or so. Everybody wanted in on it for one reason, subsidies or another, they thought they were going to get rich. Without subsidies though I know of only one project that may have made money. It was the hottest thing going though for promoters.
I should know, I was part of a group commissioned to find 1 TCF of the stuff in one place for a major oil company. We searched all the known coal reserves in the world. I did the presentation to the executive committee. I opened with this:
“You sent us to find 1 TCF of coal bed methane resources that might profitably be converted to reserves. We did and we found it. We have a lot of information to present but I can make this very short for you if you want it that way. Without the subsidies it is not remotely profitable and we can’t recommend the investment. It takes too much money, too many people, too much time and too long to recover the investment. There are better things to do with shareholder money. We did have a lot of fun on the project and learned a lot of very interesting things. We will be happy to tell you all about it and answer any questions you may have for as long as you are interested. We have also prepared this short white paper showing our findings and our various assumptions.”
The boss said I sounded pretty sure and I said that we are. He grinned and said to give them the short version.
Green energy is a lot like coal bed methane as are electric vehicles.
I believe the loss of efficiency in conventional power plants and increased emissions mimic what the Germans found about two years ago or so.
This is only about saving the erf for the weak minded. It is more about making money for the over lords.
The only thing renewable about renewable is the replacement cost and subsidies.
