*Proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for power plant emissions could spur blackouts in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) power grid region and cost stakeholders nearly $250 billion in the coming decades, according to comments filed in response to the rule by the Center of the American Experiment (CAE).
*The average annual cost to stakeholders of building enough capacity to stave off the blackouts CAE projects in the MISO region is greater than the average annual benefit the EPA estimates its proposals will bring for the entire country by 2055, according to CAE’s analysis.
*“This is the regulatory equivalent of studying the structural integrity of the top floor of a 100-story building without doing so for the preceding 99 floors,” Isaac Orr, policy fellow for the CAE and coauthor of CAE’s comments, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules regulating carbon dioxide emissions for power plants would lead to blackouts in a large slice of the Midwest and impose costs of nearly $250 billion, according to new analysis by the Center of the American Experiment (CAE).
The EPA’s proposed regulations would require fossil fuel-fired power plants to adopt developing technologies, such as carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) and hydrogen blending, in order to significantly bring down their greenhouse gas emissions over the coming decades. CAE filed comments this week in response to the EPA’s proposals, highlighting in its analysis that the EPA has overestimated the efficacy of wind and solar while exposing the 45 million people living in the area served by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) power grid to elevated blackout risks.

That’s not a bug, that’s a feature!
Sounds like a plan.
Exactly.
“Stock up on those candles folks! I suspect you are going to need them!”
Clearly, but people better HURRY UP if they want to have a generator, as they’re about to be outlawed by our wonderful president (but better than a RINO, right).
Of course, just as “they” have already planned for us.
WEF Demands Americans Accept Regular Electrical Grid Blackouts To ‘Fight Climate Change’

This will kill the economy. The dreaded words in manufacturing are “line down”. Yes for now you can run generators but it’s more expensive. That is until generators are outlawed.
This has to be the most idiotic and suicidal idea anyone ever came up with. This has to be intentional.
Maybe China’s little investment in Hunter and Joe is paying off.
Unintended double tap. Maybe.....🤔😁👍
If this wasn’t just another taxpayer boondoggle, and the people pushing it thought it was a real threat - they would ramp up domestic production of solar and battery and pay to put them on top of every home and industrial building in the country. Like Eisenhower with the federal highway plan. He saw it as necessary for economic growth as well as for national emergency to move people and military quickly around the country as needed.
But it’s not that. It’s the biggest con government(s) have pulled yet to extract money from the poor and middle class and give it to the wealthy and well connected.
Sounds like a typical New England winter.

"Kill the economy"?
Exactly the intent, or at least severally damage it (see most recently lockdown/masks)
"Idiotic"?
No, part of their "clever" plan and as soon as most Americans can recognize that the sooner we will be able to effectively respond.
"Suicidal"
Well, perhaps, most dedicated revolutionaries are indeed that.
The millions pouring across our southern border are used to intermittent electrical service. They will be right at home. It is the productive US citizens who will have to adjust to a third world lifestyle.
No Worries! They will use the Los Angeles method. Some idiotic LA City Council person wants all the EVs to ‘plug back into the electric grid’ during possible problems with their electricity supply (blackouts, brownouts, etc).
Since many EV owners have 2 or more cars, they can use that other energy source, hydrocarbons, to get around town.
