If he thinks the old "peakers" were a problem, just wait until he learns about the horrendous performance, cost and pollution problem from battery energy storage.

Agreed. And if anyone doesn't pay attention to how the grid is powered and you want to know how much the grid depends on solar and wind and battery, all you have to do is look at the fact that the Dims aren't trying to shut down solar and wind. If the grid depended on them, the Dims would hate solar and wind.

What opened my eyes to this phenomenon is the hatred the Dims learned to have toward natural gas during the Trump and Brandon years, even though it was as recent as the Obama years that the Dims were forcing many power utilities to shut down coal plants and replace them with "clean burning natural gas" fueled plants. The same for promoting everyone to switch to "clean natural gas heat" and natural gas fueled busses, etc. As soon as we depended more on natural gas, the Dims hated on natural gas.

Bingo. The constantly shifting sands of the Dims. There is no core principle they will not abandon in a heartbeat.

Now that they are all against peace in the middle east tells us all we need to know. That they love criminals more than citizens (after professing to be for law & order) tells all we need to know.

It was never about gas or coal, but power and I don’t mean electrical power.

Raw naked power to control people’s lives is what they want.
