With a hotter than usual summer projected, federal agencies are warning utilities of an "elevated risk" of power outages across two-thirds of North America between June and September.
Hope is a powerful energy, but it won’t keep the air conditioner on when summer temperatures soar and demand for electricity skyrockets, causing an overburdened electrical grid to grind to a stop.
Yet that seems to be the Biden administration’s plan in addressing warnings that nine North American regional electrical grids face an “elevated risk” of power outages this summer, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Commissioner Mark Christie maintains.
“I take it as, ‘We hope we can through the summer. We think we have a chance if the weather is normal,’” he said during a May 18 FERC meeting. “We hope we get all good news this summer.”
Christie was critiquing the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Policy & Innovation and Office of Electric Reliability responses to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)’s annual summer reliability assessment that forecasts brown-outs and black-outs across two-thirds of North America between June and September if there are “wide-area” heat waves, drought, and wildfires.

Never forget that the whole "CO2 global warming" meme is a false crisis, invented out of thin air by the neo-malthusian Club of Rome as a tool to force a drastic die-off of human populations by suppressing Western European culture and technology. This is only the beginning. Ultimately, YOU are the carbon they want to reduce.
Meanwhile, trust the climate oligarchs to find private profit in public policy.
What does our esteemed Mistress of Energy Jennifer Granholm have to say about this?
Hope is not an Energy Strategy.
The Commissioner needs to advise Mayorkas of his concerns to prevent terrorists from walking into the USA.
Jennifer says “Embrace the suck”. She has no idea how to actually do anything.
I’m happily looking at our nearly new generator we bought in the Fall. 😉
So then nothing's changed since she was my Governess of Michigan?
Yep we put ours in last year to get ahead of this. They are already talking rolling blackouts even before regulating ICE vehicles off the roads. Keep voting for the rats morons
Yep, suppress the nation’s who can solve the world’s problems.
If they want to depopulate, go to the turd world of Islam, the over population experts.
Don’t target the world’s solution providers.
Just shows how clever these asshat ‘leaders’ are.
And how Biden and his obamanites fit right in.
Its an obamanite war on the west, make no mistake on that.
If it really should get bad which it likely won’t we’ll just temporarily de-camp to our rural compound where the generator will run our whole 38 ft RV AC and all. We just installed a portable AC that doesn’t pull the watts our roof mounted one does.
And there's the rub. Getting rid of "fossil" fuels will negate your generator. No gasoline? No generator. No natural gas? No generator. No propane? No generator. No electricity? Well, shucks.
Well it won’t happen this summer. Plenty of gas and propane. 😉
Easily fixable
Drill baby drill
Our Solar system w Tesla battery is for independence, not economics....

If it can fail, it will under Biden.
Biggest threat? Moronic libs and their insane policies are the biggest threat to all of humanity.
If anyone wants on or off the Ping Me When the Internet Goes Down pinglist, kindly FReepmail me. Thanks!
Remember how O’Bammy’s Hope-y/Changy turned out.
