In Silicon Valley we saw this once a month around 2000.
Since I left, I’m pretty sure it has NOT gotten better.

This is based on my opinion and strong intuition. Part of my TV Producer career was as a live broadcast tech director. His feed went to solid black, then the “2 box squeeze” went to one box and the host paused, said “lost signal”, and moved on. Schlicter was pretty fired up, so I think the director was ready to boot. We’ll see...

"Coming Soon: Planned Electricity Shortage, Widespread Blackouts"

Only a liberal fool would try to outlaw 100% of carbon emissions.

Good video. The harsh reality is that Biden's open border is inviting in foreign troops in plain clothes. They get a cell phone, a $5,000 debit card, transportation to a city in the US and food/accommodations at the destination. All at the expense of the US taxpayer. We are funding infiltration by an army that will take America down.

Two questions posed by Steve Quayle tonight. 1) What will you do when one or more US aircraft carriers are sunk? 2) A related question, what will you do when Damascus is leveled?

Do you know or understand what NERC is and does?

Do you have ANY knowledge about the power industry? What experience do you have with large scale power systems and how to keep them operating reliably at low cost? None, I’m sure.

Do you have a clue what happens when you suddenly have a majority of power provided from nondispatchable sources? Do you understand how fast wind power can collapse? I didn’t think so.

You didn’t mention when it happened. What program was he on?

Seems odd to have an erosion problem on gas turbines.

The only reason I can imagine for blade erosion on a combustion turbine is condensation in the gas.

But at the temperatures that gas turbines operate I can’t see how there would be any condensation.

The remote possibility of ash isn’t worth thinking about.

Perhaps widespread blackouts are what is needed to end the solar farm and windmill folly. Pity the fools and their EVs who will be stranded

We live in a rural area—and it is very comforting to see your fuel source stacked outside and ready to use in a wood stove.

We will be warm in the winter—no matter what the evil haters in government do.

“We are funding infiltration by an army that will take America down.”

Yes, Obama’s Army

Jim and I and others were at the border when I dubbed Obama Coyote-in-Chief. .

Biden and his crew of traitors are now recruiting more.

Terror cell—Chinese, Muslim and all Terror based countries are arming up to attack.

Millions of them?

Probably...

BE PREPARED add LOCK AND LOAD!
