I beg to differ. It does not create risk. It creates blackout CERTAINTY.
The night Gavin Newsom announced to supporters outside that he had survived the recall election:
“Remember, everything happens first in California and then happens all over the country.”
Whoopee./S
Paper ballots it is, then.
Shorting the Grid by Meredith Angwin.
Long-time power industry insider shows where the bodies are buried,
I more and more am not looking forward to living a long life past now. Age 77. At least we had the “good old days” before the dark hell of Chinese Communist style dominance over us after November, 2024. Feel sorry for little kids who won’t know what freedom was and what individuality and being proud of being an American meant.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
― Ronald Reagan
Biden’s order could let China control US electric grid

Oh like they have in glorious S Africa?
I have been in the Electric Power Industry for forty years. It was obvious 30 years ago.
The EPA worked hard to eliminate the exemption for small old coal burners to be update to current regulations.
It is economical impractical spend millions updating a 50 megawatt plant to current EPA standards when it will only operate on a few days a year when the load is at its highest.
Instead the utilities spent those millions on gas turbine plants that could be built and operated without any emissions controls at all and could be fired up and loaded remotely within a few hours.
But now even those plants are under attack because the standards have changed and even a plant that produces no other waste gas than CO2 is under the EPA’s attack.
The EPA is a rogue agency that only exist now to destroy industry.
Third-world countries suffer from rolling blackouts.
Gosh, just like my days in Baghdad. Oh, sweet nostalgia.
Fox News just practiced a blackout on Kurt Schlicter tonight by cutting his feed as soon as he started saying that Palestinians needed to be taken out.
These woke lib whatever they are communists may be smiling now, but it will NOT go down good for them in the end. Think Mussolini.....
NOWHERE TO HIDE IF AMERICA IS LOST!

I DO NOT MONETIZE MY VIDEOS. Please share as WE ARE NEARLY OUT OF TIME TO TURN THIS MESS AROUND!
I have a copy of that. On the “must read” pile.

I worked on GE’s frame E prototype 200MW that went to Virginia Power. GE had issues with the ceramic coatings on the blades forty years ago.
From what I’ve heard blade erosion is still an issue for combustion turbines.
Ergo welcome to third world America.
When did that happen as I just checked his Twitter account and he hasn’t made any mention of it and he’s pretty active on his account posting several things as recently as 20 minutes ago
The GOPe will get on that immediately. /s
