My last apartment went to electric heating... these electric vehicles and climate-change-fruit-loops will kill people.

The anti-energy policies of Democrats ensure that will be the case.

Hey, corrupt officials: Divert money being thrown at illegal invaders and to the never-ending war in Ukraine and spend it on some new electricity generation systems. Let’s do something for our own people for a change.

Why were the grids not brought up to par and hardened against terrorist attacks at the same time? No, we had to send vast amounts of money to Ukraine and diddle away millions on useless lawfare trials. This is dimmocraps.

This is just part and parcel of our down grading to 3rd World. It will get worse over the next couple of months.

‘Five gigawatts of electricity generation running for 1 hour could power 50 million 100-watt lightbulbs for one hour.’

Does it shut down after one hour and one second?
