[Moltke]

The collective madness continues unabated. This was so predictable.

[hal ogen]

Greenie idiocy is mainly based on false hopium, idiocy and stealing other persons’ money.

I laugh at their self-imposed difficulties.

Net Zero strikes again

[HombreSecreto]

Well Kermit did say “it’s not easy being green.”

[fruser1]

There are about 5% of the folks in the Mid Atlantic grid that volunteer to be cut back in power when needed.

When that ultimately fails to preclude massive brown outs, the volunteer part of the program will be terminated.

[dfwgator]

All by design.

[dfwgator]

It will happen here in Texas as well.

[rdcbn1]

This is fundamentally unsound public policy and a total misallocation of resources.

The only question is whether this is spectacular incompetence and stupidity or intentional sabotage.

It seems that they do not teach the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics anymore

[lgjhn23]

The is the end result of letting the insane run the asylum....

[brownsfan]

Good! Stupid should hurt.

[bantam]

Stupid is, as stupid does!

[rbg81]

Well, they based their policy on the sage advice of an emotional teenage girl. What could possibly go wrong?

[butlerweave]

Climate Goals = Insanity

[Racketeer]

I guess the only thing these countries have in common is their reliance on others for their carbon based fuel for energy.

[blackdog]

Tell it to Nuland and Sullivan. They blew up your gas lines, then had Biden sign an executive order banning LNG sales to Europe. (Of which Biden had no knowledge of)

[Leaning Right]

The solution is obvious. They should harness the power of unicorns on treadmills. That makes as much sense as what they’re doing now.

On a more serious note, this is what happens when all debate is shut down, fascist-like. Al Gore says Climate Change is “settled science”. Challenge that, and you will be shouted down.

So off the cliff we go.

[linMcHlp]

Electricity comes from walls.

Food comes from shelves.

[Bon of Babble]

The crisis has emerged as the country scrambles to cut carbon emissions.

Exactly what is happening in California.

[fruser1]

Just thought of this - given that we have “smart meters” now, the folks that vote for this crap should be identified and have their power cut first (when they do it in the US).

[P.O.E.]

Gilligan's Island did just fine with bamboo bicycles and the like to power their lifestyle
