Most greenies are just useful idiots. The cabal behind them is worrisome.

No no no NOOOOO!!!!

It's Global Warming™, silly.

Does anyone think leftist greenies sitting in sweltering heat because of a blackout will consider a paradigm change? Will it take people dying? Or will this simply cause confirmation bias and they will double down on lunacy and illogic?

I’m old enough to remember when limited electricity was the hallmark of a third-world nation...

The stupid drones around me would be upset, but they’d take their orders from their tv and blame Trump and Republicans.

“if the people running things wanted to make ordinary Americans’ lives worse, what would they be doing differently?”

Rush said this about obama.

Once you realize they - TPTB - hate you, things are much clearer.

Thank you for listing the reasons why we will never ever own an electric car nor electric stove top.

Any state that experiences blackouts due to greenturds will be forgiven if their populations seek out and “handle” each and every gubmit official backing renewable energy. We shall leave the definition of “handle” to those who capture the leftists. Enough of this. Take charge and make “them” cower in their safe spaces. Until they have to come out.

This is how the EPA initiated the huge blackout in Texas February of 2021. The EPA told ERCOT that if they wanted to run the power plants at 100% that cost would be THOUSANDS per KWH.

I did a lot of research and it comes down to the new communists appointed EPA director writing that letting in Feb 2021.

The ‘news media’ blamed ERCOT for not having connections to other grids but that is just not true. Texas is interconnected in several places including to Mexico. The winter cold was causing the same problems in the adjacent states and there was no spare capacity to share.

This is how the communists oppress and control on a large scale and it works.

...NERC predicts power plants will comply by limiting hours of operation but warns they may need regulatory waivers in the event of a power crunch.

Not long ago, utilities figured out on their own with minimal government interference how to run their systems to deliver highly reliable power at low cost. Then the government got involved and in 2023 you need to go get a special dispensation from the GD government to run your plant in a "power crunch."

With normal GD government efficiency and "it's not my job" attitude, it'll take ten weeks for the GD government to approve a utility "regulatory waiver request." So get ready for ten week outages before your lights come back on.

There is NOTHING in the USA that the GD government won't ruin or destroy.

In the 70s, I worked in poor, developing countries that had intermittent power. The GD government is absolutely determined to take us backward 100 years.

I spent 30 years helping design, build, start-up, and run reliable power plants. I'm so PO'd that these bastards are impoverishing all of us.

Aw right... let’s say that there are indeed going to be blackouts this summer. And if that happens, the spot price for electricity in some locations is going to go through the roof, no? What is the investment vehicle for betting on that happening? Who is already betting on it and just waiting and hence, who is going to get rich when the blackouts happen? This has always looked like the entire ‘green energy’ crap is a grandiose scheme of manipulation to make a bunch of people very rich.... the only questions are the exact details of how the manipulation will unfold.

[Bonemaker]

How about hottest summer on record and 90 day brown out in northeast?

Phoenix gets most of its power from hydro and nuclear.
Unless CA steals all of it.
