The largest US grid issued an Energy Emergency Alert level one, meaning it is concerned about being able to maintain adequate power reserves on July 27 as consumers and businesses turn up their air conditioners amid scorching heat.

I saw this coming years ago when the electric companies started shutting down Coal Burning Generating Plants because of EPA pressures on emissions.

Dozens of efficient, clean and modern generating facilities shut down because of stupid Woke regulation.

After all of the mythical studies saying that somehow coal ash was killing people and later that CO2 is causing environmental change, people are going to die very directly because the nation is not burning coal.

Thanks for all your hard work Watermelons.

Businesses don’t turn up the air conditioning. The AC systems are programmed to maintain a certain temperature. They make it sound like it’s businesses that are causing the problem by adjusting their thermostats. SMH.

Worse. The greeniacs decades ago said “NO COAL,,,use clean burning natural gas.”

The power industry said “Yes, boss. Whatever you say, boss.”

A couple decades go by and the greeniacss said “Oops, we bad. Natural gas is as dirty as coal. Use windmills and solar. “

So the power industry said “Yes, boss. Whatever you say boss.”

The power industry was spineless, reactionary, no longer had technical leadership, and killed itself. That’s why I left it in in the year 2000.
