When there is a Kalifornia energy (electricity) crisis, Kalifornia purchases electricity from neighboring States at higher prices. However, one of the entities that takes advantage of such situations is a Kalifornia government owned and operated ‘utility.’ SMUD Sacramento Municipal Utility District. In some of the most recent energy shortages, SMUD boasted about how much money it was ‘making.’
Just like with food and transportation, democRATS want to control. And what better way than to mandate that everything run on electricity, and then to limit the total amount of electricity available to the masses. We are the Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas. Not so long ago, natural gas was promoted by the government as a ‘clean’ fuel. Then President Trump let the drillers Drill Baby Drill, and natural gas became inexpensive and abundant. Access to inexpensive and abundant energy equals more freedom, and democRATS hate freedom. Many public and private companies altered their machines, trucks, etc to run on natural gas. UPS, FedEx. We see large garbage collection trucks, and other municipal machines that have, proudly displayed, signs that brag about using clean gas. Now, that ‘clean’ fuel is evil, and we must leave all hydrocarbons in the ground. The only plus is when the Great Cold returns, those hydrocarbons will still be there to heat the freezing cities.
As I have stated before, we have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. There are thousands of years of hydrocarbons under our feet. Under several East Coast States is a huuuuge shale formation. Some States are drilling for it, while others refuse. I wonder if those that refuse will become individual Atlas Shrugged zones, while neighboring States take advantage of the abundant energy supply.
Thanks for posting.
